Every transport operator wants to reduce fuel costs, increase productivity and improve safety, but how can you manage all these things? CMV Truck & Bus have worked together with UD Trucks to develop a UD Trucks Driver Development program to help you and your driver make the right changes to assist your performance and your bottom line.
Have a read to find out more about the UD Driver Development program CMV Truck & Bus provide, that is designed for your drivers and your business.
It’s all about your driver
UD Trucks build solid, reliable trucks for Australia conditions, but do you know that the most important factors affecting the efficiency and performance of your fleet are the attitude and ability of your drivers? Our dedicated UD Consultants at CMV Truck & Bus will work with your drivers one-on-one to deliver a practical training experience that will transform the way your drivers approach the road environment, and how they operate and manoeuvre your UD Trucks.
Knowing what the driver can and can’t influence
Knowing what determines fuel consumption is critical to reducing it. Our UD Driver Trainer will show your drivers which aspects of their driving burns the most fuel and explain how to eliminate these behaviours from their driving style.
Increased uptime
An informed driver is calm and in control, and as a result, his driving causes less wear and tear. This means your UD Truck will stay on the road for longer, spend less time in the workshop and have lower maintenance costs.
Safer journeys
CMV Truck & Bus and UD Trucks, and it’s everyone’s responsibility to make the roads as safe as possible for all road users. There’s a lot involved in driving a truck safely and efficiently. A good driver looks ahead, plans their actions and uses the road environment to their advantage. Knowing when to let the vehicle’s momentum do the work, when to use cruise control, and how to anticipate obstacles like traffic lights and roundabouts are just some of the techniques our UD Driver Trainer will demonstrate to drivers. These techniques will help to make a difference to your fuel bill, as well as your drivers’ fatigue levels and most importantly, a safer driver will dramatically reduce the chance of accidents on our roads.
Reduced emissions
With carbon emissions now forming an additional and unavoidable expense, reducing them is a priority for every transport operator. Our UD Driver Trainer will demonstrate to your driver how best to operate the truck’s engine, not only to reduce fuel consumption, but to improve the efficiency with which the engine burns every precious litre.
Using the truck's techology
UD’s Trucks offer a wide range of technologically advanced systems to help your drivers stay safe on the road. Many of the most powerful features are at your fingertips, yet many drivers are either unaware of them, or aren’t sure how to use them to maximise the benefits. Our UD Driver Trainer, will explain and demonstrate all the technology in the truck and how to use it, so your drivers receive the true value of a UD Truck.
Your dedicated UD Driver Trainer at CMV Truck & Bus will deliver five measurable differences to your operation, because once they’re trained, your drivers will:
- Drive more safely
- Use less fuel
- Increase productivity
- Increase uptime
- Increase their knowledge about the technology available
