Fuel economy and safety linked
An article 'How the latest technology can reduce your fuel spend' published by The Driving for Better Business campaign stresses that improving transport safety and air quality must increasingly go hand in hand.
The author Andy Eastlake has a background in engineering that has seen him involved in vehicle crash testing, emissions optimisation, fuel economy, electrification and, most recently, clean air strategy and government policy. He is convinced that improving transport safety and air quality must increasingly go hand in hand.
And he believes that much can be done to further this symbiosis – with important benefits for business profitability as well as the environment.
