Strategix Training Group's Ecodriver Progam is all about vehicle understanding, and techniques to improve your fuel economy and vehicle performance. It involves the following principles:
Smart drivers are professional and well informed on the requirements of being a heavy vehicle truck driver.
To be able to ensure your vehicle is operating efficiently you should inspect your vehicle daily to maximise peak performance.
Ensuring that you are in the right place on the road at the right time at an intersection requires skill and timing. To assist you further we have developed a system of vehicle control.
Progressive shifting is a technique that allows you to shift smoothly and maximise your torque and power curves.
Smoothing out your driving style and flowing your vehicle will require a number of skills. Utilising the System of vehicle control, scanning ahead and preparing your vehicle to move through intersections and corners smoothly can save wear and tear on the vehicle and improve your fuel consumption.
Progressive braking is a technique to slow down the vehicle gently in a smooth manner. To be able to do this effectively you will need to implement a few steps in your process.
Scanning the road ahead is a technique used to drive safely. Scanning the road ahead allows you to make adjustments in advance in your heavy vehicle.
Idling your vehicle for longer than necessary is a waste fuel. It can have an impact on the environment as well as a long term effect on your vehicle.
The effects of pollution and emissions are a main concern for our society. The emissions that come from heavy vehicles are being scrutinised and alternatives for cleaner fuels are being sought.
Being a smart driver requires you to have a good understanding of the vehicle, its load and the road.
