Freight Operator Recognition Scheme - Dan Evanson
The Freight Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) has more than 400 members, with 1,300 depots, which account for 55,000 vehicles across London. In a little over three years since our formal launch, we’re proud that we’re helping large numbers of operators to save money and become safer, greener and more efficient.

How often do you have one of those ‘now why didn’t I think of that’ moments? Simple solutions to often tricky problems. It has to be said that here at the Freight Best Practice programme we have our fair share of such moments.

Back in May, I was delighted to be involved in the launch of the DfT's new On Line Benchmarking programme or OLB. This new web-based system represents a step change in the way that fleet operators can compare performance across vehicles, across fleets and across companies.

The cancellation of this year's Commercial Vehicle Show was of course a great disappointment. I am pleased to say the Multimodal Show at the NEC has fared better. Last year marked an exciting new era for Freight Best Practice as the focus was expanded to provide more information on the use of inland waterways, coastal shipping and rail.

It looks like 2009 will be as challenging as it was last year for the industry; the focus, as ever, will be about driving down costs and improving efficiencies. We know that many operators have made major strides over the last year in improving fuel efficiency, but the major challenge all operators face, no matter how much they've invested, is deciding where the best place is to start on the road of fuel efficiency for 2009.
