Shell announces UK’s most fuel efficient road transport fleet driver 20 June 2013

Shell has named Dean Scott, of palletised distribution specialist CFT Services, as the UK's most fuel-efficient road transport fleet driver.

As part of the Shell FuelSave Partner European Driver Competition – an annual contest to find the most fuel-efficient road transport fleet driver among Shell FuelSave Partner customers in Europe – Scott will now compete in the grand final in Augsburg, Germany, later this month (June 2013).

The competition is run by Shell in co-operation with DEKRA Academy, which specialises in driver training in EU regulations.

During the assessment, DEKRA Academy worked with Shell technical experts to rank drivers from across 13 European countries based on the driver reports from their Shell FuelSave Partner advanced fuel management system.

"I was over the moon to be crowned the UK's winner of this fantastic competition," says Scott.

The winner of the grand final will win a trip to a Ferrari driving challenge, while his or her company will have the chance to send more of their drivers on a one day eco-driving training course.

The drivers that finish second and third will win a place on a Porsche driving challenge. All driving challenge prizes include travel and accommodation for two people.

"We know from our own testing at Shell that a few simple changes to driver behaviour can help road transport fleet operators cut fuel consumption significantly, so it was great to see so many UK fleet drivers putting their fuel efficiency skills into practice," says Philip Williams, Shell Head of Commercial Fleet UK.
