Or as he calls it – Heavy EcoDriving.<\/p>\n
Jonas started as a driver at Mantum 2005 (HTAB) 17 years ago. Since obtaining his CE card in 2002, he has been racing against himself to reduce his fuel consumption. However, it wasn’t until 2004, when Jonas attended a course in Heavy EcoDriving, that his interest was really sparked.<\/p>\n
In the course of the course, he proved to himself that using the right driving technique, which includes using the vehicle’s own torque, not only saves fuel consumption, but often also time.<\/p>\n
Jonas told us that he started experimenting more and more on where he can let off the gas, and basically, rely on the truck’s own torque as much as possible. One example is a stretch between Falkenberg and Torup, where he lets off the gas and freewheels for 7 kilometers.<\/p>\n
There are plenty of common transport routes in Sweden where the conditions are right for this style of driving.<\/p>\n
We measure our pilots with the Volvo driver score system. Jonas has been fighting for first place for a long time and is a recurring first place winner. And don’t forget that his colleagues are right behind him.<\/p>\n
Jonas has also traveled with some of our road pilots, giving them tips and advice on how to improve their fuel consumption. Some of the drivers have since reduced their consumption by up to 10%. Jonas says it has been well received by his colleagues, who find it fun and challenging to compete against themselves and reduce their consumption.<\/p>\n
When Jonas goes along to train our other drivers, the main focus is on two points.<\/p>\n
Planning and idling.<\/p>\n
To reduce fuel consumption, several factors come into play, such as driving technique, vehicle characteristics, tire pressure & wind sensor.<\/p>\n
Now Jonas has been assigned to train more of Mantum’s pilots with the hope of reducing fuel consumption and taking extra care of our environment.<\/p>\n
