Improving driver safety, efficiency and emissions with Lightfoot technology

Improving driver safety, efficiency and emissions with Lightfoot technology

During 2021 we engaged with Lightfoot on their in-cab driver coaching system for our van fleet. The system empowers drivers to be safer, steadier, and more sustainable whilst out on the road. Better driving performance is recognised and rewarded, leading to improvements in safety, efficiency, compliance, productivity, sustainability and maintenance.

The Lightfoot system does this by communicating directly with the driver via the in-cab dashboard device, providing visual and verbal feedback in real-time to encourage smoother driving. As their driving performance improves, drivers can enter competitions, win prizes and compete in league tables.


We initially began by adding the system to 15 trial vehicles in 2021, and when the results of the trial showed improvements across all areas, it was further rolled out in 2022 to over 350 vehicles.

In July to September 2022 we carried out a review of the system - turning the in-cab system off for 4 weeks, then back on again for the next 4 weeks and the results were impressive.

Key summary facts and figures:

  • 7.3% improvement in MPG
  • 26% reduction in idling time
  • 26% reduction in over harsh events (Accelerating, Braking and Cornering)
  • 11.6% reduction in overspeeds.
  • 122 tonnes annual CO2 saving
