Fleet recognition scheme – ECO Stars
The ECO Stars Fleet Recognition Scheme is a free scheme that aims to help fleet operators improve efficiency, reduce fuel consumption and emissions and make cost savings. ECO Stars can have a big impact on business. Members can save money, up to £2,450 per vehicle – for an operator with 10 vehicles this equates to a saving of one whole tanker of diesel! Members can improve fuel efficiency - by implementing the key measures recommended by ECO Stars, a typical commercial vehicle operator could expect to reduce fuel consumption at least 5% in the first year. Members can also reduce their environmental impact with reductions in emissions possible.
The scheme is free, easy to join with applications completed during an on-site visit. Access to expert support and consultancy and fleet specialists will help complete your application and give you practical guidance and advice. Membership can raise your environmental profile as members will be recognised as an environmentally responsible fleet operator by other operators, customers and the wider community.
If you are in the business of moving anything around – goods, equipment or people – you can benefit from being a member of ECO Stars. Further information is available via http://www.ecostars-uk.com/
