The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) has launched a suite of resources aimed at helping freight, delivery and fleet operators cut fuel costs and improve efficiency.
The initiative brings together practical tools and industry-backed approaches to reduce fuel use immediately, while supporting longer-term improvements in fleet performance and resilience.
EECA says rising diesel and petrol prices are placing increasing pressure on businesses reliant on fuel, particularly those moving goods and services, with many already taking steps to manage costs.
The new resources include fuel-efficient driving guidance for truck drivers, focused on helping operators “stretch every tank on every route” and improve overall fuel economy.
Driver training is also highlighted as a key lever, with EECA noting that structured programmes can have a significant impact on reducing fuel use across both small operators and large fleets.
For operators seeking deeper insights, EECA is offering co-funding for professional fleet studies, aimed at identifying inefficiencies and opportunities to cut fuel consumption. Additional support is available for businesses with telematics systems, enabling more detailed analysis to optimise fleet performance.
The programme also links to broader funding initiatives, including the Low Emissions Heavy Vehicle Fund, which supports the uptake of zero and low-emissions trucks.
EECA says the tools form part of a wider effort to help the heavy freight sector improve energy efficiency, reduce operating costs and strengthen resilience in the face of ongoing fuel price volatility.
The full range of resources is available on the EECA website.
