The Racing School Proud to be part of Green Fleet '09 at Rockingham

Fleet managers are under constant pressure to reduce costs, increase safety and introduce environmental policies to cut down on CO2 and other tailpipe emissions. Until recently, environmental performance and cost reduction were phrases not often used in the same sentence. The success of events such as the GreenFleet Arrive ‘N’ Drive have gone some way to convince fleet managers and those responsible for road transport procurement that a greener fleet doesn’t mean a higher level of investment. When lifetime costs are taken into account, it can be demonstrated that green can indeed mean ‘lean’.

The GreenFleet Arrive 'N' Drive 09, took place on 19 May at Rockingham Motor Speedway, Northants.

Following its success over the last three years, Arrive 'N' Drive 09 will enable fleet managers and those responsible for vehicle procurement to test drive fuel efficient vehicles around a world class race circuit. The Arrive 'N' Drive will feature offerings from the leading manufacturers, as well as the latest HGV's on display.

Part of the attraction to the Arrive ‘N’ Drive is that test drivers are accompanied by ARDS (Association of Racing Drivers’ Schools) instructors provided by The Racing School, who offer tips on how to drive with fuel economy and safety in mind, and will instruct in ways to save fuel through driving style.  Chief Instructor, Neil Boardman commented "In this current economic climate people are looking at saving as much money as possible.  If they can do this and also help the environment at the same time then all the better".  He continued "by learning a little bit about how the car works, we can teach people that by altering their driving style they can increase the fuel economy of the car helping not only the environment but their pocket as well".

Exhibitors at Green Fleet '09 included Aixam, Calor Gas, Citroen, The Eco Power Group, Elsbett, Eurofrigo, Modec, Modul Systems, RHA, Tata Motors and Zero Emmission Vehicles amongst others.
