Rewarding and Recognition Schemes for Energy COnserving DRIving, VEhicle procurement and maintenance (RECODRIVE)

RECODRIVE is taking up existing Ecodriving initiatives and merging it with good fleet management and logistics optimization practice to push fuel saving in fleets beyond 10%. Commercial (i.e. freight and utilities) and captive (i.e. public transport) fleets from partners and associated entities have acted as demonstrators and show cases for high mileage and/or high specific consumption fleets. Energy conservation champions have been trained to penetrate the procurement departments specifying vehicles, drivers applying ECODRIVING and workshop employees servicing vehicles (tire pressure, air and fuel filter etc.).

 

A knowledge hub, implemented as an internet based communication and information platform, tools supporting the procurement of on board and fuel management devices, dos and don’ts for the set-up of recognition and rewarding schemes and a support desk to help fleets owners have also been implemented in the course of the project.

Additional results are audit schemes for energy related processes like procurement, driver training and fuel management, the planning documents for success prone demonstration and a formulation of validated concepts for the various fleet types and motivating facts for regional and city administration will be elaborated as result of the cross comparative evaluation.
