A £1.3m government-backed scheme to train van drivers has been launched by Transport Secretary, Alistair Darling.
Under the SaFED — Safe and Fuel Efficient Drivers — programme 200 instructors will be funded to offer training to an initial 3,500 drivers countrywide. The optional one-day course involves a mixture of classroom and on-the-road tuition, the aim being to improve both safety and fuel economy while cleaning up the environment.
