‘Carbon Literacy for Transport Operators’ a course uniquely developed for the UK truck sector by Darren Newman of Low Carbon Truck Consultancy

The Carbon Literacy Project is an organisation working to help people from all walks of life understand the impact of climate change and the actions they can take to reduce their personal and business emissions. Carbon Literacy courses are available for many different business sectors and Darren Newman from Low Carbon Truck Consultancy has developed this course specifically designed to address the needs of the UK Road Transport sector.

Darren has worked in trucks for almost 40 years and transport decarbonisation for the last 8. He brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the subject and the course has been well received by vehicle operators large and small.

It covers the reasons why individuals and businesses are being asked to make efforts to reduce their CO2 emissions, it explains how trucks are a major contributor to climate change and importantly covers the things operators can do to reduce emissions from their own operations. 

From emissions regulations and reporting, calculating emissions to providing a down to earth overview of the technologies available and how they might fit into your business. Delivered face to face over one day, successful learners are certified Carbon Literate.

Many operators are keen for their whole teams take the course, helping everyone understand the role they can play from the top to the bottom of any transport operation. Learning together as a team in a relaxed and open environment ensures everyone gets to ask their question and share their own opinions and thoughts.

Here is what some people who have taken the course have said:
