Eco Fleet
What is EcoFleet?
Ecofleet is a system whereby a company who is demonstrating fuel savings can receive a financial support to contribute to those savings. Typically for every 10,000 litres a company saves on fuel usage they receive a payment of €1,000.
FTA Ireland recommend that all TruckSafe members report their energy savings.
What are my commitments?
1. To implement a fuel saving programme by allocating time to saving fuel.
2. To provide fuel and energy savings figures to Enprova and if requested to SEAI on a quarterly basis – litres used and km driven.

Quarterly uploads only take a matter of minutes, once you have done your homework with your telematics information. I would point out that they would see saving in two ways, Reduction in their weekly diesel cost plus carbon footprint and on top of all that they would reserve the yearly rebate on their improvement on the previous year.
We have had fuel savings of 433,769 litres to date and this has become a big interest with our existing customers.
We are now operating with a new fleet spec which is specific to our needs for chilled delivery and fuel economy. Zellwood are focusing on alternative fuel sources and are currently trailing a vehicle running on HVO (Hydrated Vegetable Oil) on a trail bases with the view to rolling it out to the entire fleet over the coming months. This will have a 90% reduction in carbon emission compared with diesel. Plus we will be introducing an electric rigid to the fleet over the coming weeks. Furthermore we have rolled out Aptarus Online Training to all employees to improve driver’s road safety awareness as well as fuel economy. The online training has a big focus on safety with drivers being assigned refresher training if he / she has a recurring problem with driver safety e.g. anticipation, harsh braking”
