The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Transport (Paul Clark)

Emissions from freight movements stem primarily from the road sector, with LGVs representing 20 per cent. of total domestic transport greenhouse gas emissions. The Department’s preliminary analysis showed that if 90 per cent. of LGV drivers were eco-driving trained, and continued to drive in that manner, up to 3 million tonnes of CO 2 could be saved over a five-year carbon budgetary period and £300 million in fuel costs could be saved for the industry per year.
