The programme also features theoretical and practical training in Optifuel Infomax (at the end of the session). This focuses on how driving style can sustainably reduce fuel consumption.

A theoretical approach to driving

Focus on mastering commercial vehicle technologies: powertrain (manual, automated or automatic), controls (display, digital tachograph, etc.), and slowing procedures (with different types of retarders).
Parameters influencing fuel consumption.
The key principles of rational behaviour.

Putting theoretical knowledge into practice

Vehicle overview and handover.
Driving under real fully loaded conditions.
