Fuel efficiency policies mandate the environmental performance of vehicles and provide a framework for purchasing decisions. Speed, weight, purchasing, and other operating policies ensure that strict performance guidelines are achieved and demonstrate to drivers and managers how to achieve the highest fuel efficiency possible. [1]

Fuel efficiency policies set a standard for employee performance and a reference point for evaluation and should be developed in combination with driver awareness [1] and training programs. Formalizing procedures also ensures consistency across all drivers, managers, and departments.

Benefits

Fuel efficiency policies result in:

• Reduced GHG emissions and related pollutants.
• Improved fuel performance.
• Improved safety of drivers.
• Consistency and accountability across fleet operations.
