1. Ecodriving training Pedro Aller Fernández

2. What is missing in the legal provisions: –More emphasis on the practical aspect and a clear separation between this training and the delivery of the driving licence –Integrating part of the professional drivers (LIGHT TRANSPORT) TCM UGT CyL POSITION VIS-A-VIS THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK : PASSENGER TRANSPORT - INITIAL QUALIFICATION from 11-10-2008 - CONTINUOUS TRAINING: Holders of a driving licence the last number of which is 1 or 2 prior to 10 -09– 2011 Holders of a driving licence the last number of which is 3 or 4 prior to 10 -09 – 2012 Holders of a driving licence the last number of which is 5 or 6 prior to 10 -09 – 2013 Holders of a driving licence the last number of which is 7 or 8 prior to 10 -09 – 2014 Holders of a driving licence the last number of which is 9 or 0 prior to 10 -09 - 2015 FREIGHT TRANSPORT 1 year later. LEGAL FRAMEWORK IN SPAIN

3. COURSE: Fuel-efficient and safe driving OBJETIVE: Implementing the philosophy inherent in continuous training activities to be developed by the trainees with special emphasis on safety, fuel-efficiency and other factors DEVELOPMENT: Duration: a total of 14 hours: 3 hours dedicated to theoretical sessions and 11 hours dedicated to practical sessions TOPICS –Configuration of vehicles –Active safety systems –Productive systems: kinematic chain –Engine and gear –Specific consumption patterns –Tyres: pressure and tread patterns and designs –Adjusting to the traffic flow –Adjusting to possible incidents (potential risks, uncertainties, etc.) –Techniques for a safe and productive driving - ETC. PROPOSED MODEL

4. Profitability = Fuel-efficient and safe driving Lowering the environmental pollution Decreasing waste Optimizing the transport service Relieving stress Increasing safety Reducing fuel consumption Cutting down the” number of useless stops Fuel-efficient driving with 75.000 km/ year with a saving of2,5 l/100 Km = 1.875 € x number of vehículos

5. Practical sessions focus on the Directive provisions: –( 5) Improving road and drivers’ safety, even during drivers’ operations other than driving. Modernizing the drivers’ profession. –(10) Promoting defensive driving – anticipating dangers, fostering a greater awareness of the other road users – while focusing on fuel-efficient driving. Outcome: –Workers have acquired a necessary know-how while in most cases, they were not aware of its usefulness. –Urban transport safety has improved in Avila. –Fuel consumption has been substantially reduced, by some 5%. –Public service quality has been upgraded. Pilot experiments aimed at: –Raising the companies’ and workers awareness of the importance and practical application of the described training. –Being able to present the experiment to other companies so that they could get involved after measuring its beneficial impact.
