On the 12/12/12 Christmas Greetings to everyone from Ringway in Worcestershire.

"LEAN the LOAD" UPDATE.

We have now carried out "LEAN the LOAD" audits on 13 vehicles within the Worcestershire Highways fleet with some very interesting findings...
a. We have been able to reduce the vehicle weight of all the vehicles audited some by as much as half a tonne.
b. Two of the vehicles prior to their audit were found to be over weight.
c. We found, pre audit 18 shovels on one 3.5 tonne vehicle at Newlands.

We will throughout December continue with the audits and monitor expected improvements in fuel efficiency.
