We are committed to maintaining the highest quality, safety, health and environmental standards

Integrity

We reduce our ecological footprint by minimising our fuel consumption.

Through our environmental initiatives we reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emission. By promoting a new driving culture we ensure considerable and long-term benefitial effects.

Drive

We improve driver performance by analysing driving behaviour
We continually promote a positive and caring contribution of our team and operations to the protection of the environment. We objectively evaluate and stimulate driver performance on economical and ecological driving.

Support

We provide support and training ensuring our people understand and contribute to ongoing improvements
We set targets by which our efforts towards sustainable environmental improvements can be measured and monitored on a regular basis

Leatrans management and drivers are all very conscious of our responsibilities to the environment and the impact our driving styles have, for example, on fuel consumption. Our on-board computers analyse driving style parameters and records the number of brakes or gear changes, how long the driver drives without using the accelerator pedal and how long the brake pedal is pushed in.

Our ECO-driving programme encourages good, durable driving behaviour and builds on a strong combination of technology, training and continuous monitoring, with the overall goal of reducing consumption and CO2 emissions, lowering maintenance costs and increasing safety on the road.
