FTA doubts over mandatory eco-driver training

摘要

Department for Transport (DfT) proposals to make eco-driving training a mandatory part of Driver CPC training have been rejected by the FTA (Freight Transport Association). In its response to the DfT's consultation paper, James Firth, FTA's head of road freight and enforcement policy, recommended that, although greater uptake of eco-driver training must be encouraged, the mandatory route is unnecessary and could even become counter-productive.
