• Fuel consumption reduced by 16% for vans and 10% for large goods vehicles (LGVs)
• Equates to annual fuel savings of £650 per van and £2,000 per LGV
• Annual CO₂ emissions savings of 1.2 tonnes per van and 5.3 tonnes per LGV

Plus:

• Fewer gear changes leading to lower unplanned maintenance costs, reduced vehicle downtime and higher resale values
