Welcome to the new look SAFED websites, which have been refreshed to include up to date SAFED information and provide an improved visitor experience making the information and the resources you are are looking for easier to find.

Our trainer network can still access their areas in the same way via the trainer pages on their respective vehicle types and should use this site in exactly the same way as the previous site. 

SAFED (Safe and Fuel Efficient Driving) is a driver development course that aims to help businesses and organisations reduce fuel and maintenance costs, reduce CO2 emissions and improve safety through the enhancement of driving techniques.

The SAFED course was developed with backing from the Department for Transport, which now owns the SAFED brand and oversees the delivery of the official SAFED training course. Driver development is a feature of the Government's commitment to helping businesses and organisations achieve reductions in their fuel spend, carbon emissions and accident rates.

To find out more about the programme visit the About SAFED section or the sections that are specific to the commercial vehicle types.
