Currys has slashed over £400,000 from its annual fuel bill by using Lightfoot’s driver coaching system across its delivery fleet, enhancing efficiency and cutting emissions.
The electricals giant, which operates a fleet of Ford Transits and Iveco Dailys, reported a 10.8% improvement in fuel efficiency and an 11% drop in CO2 emissions.
The technology, which provides drivers with real-time feedback, has also reduced vehicle idling and improved driving standards.
Currys supply chain head of compliance Chris Georgiou said: “Real-time feedback has been a game-changer. It’s helped our drivers become safer and more efficient, while rewards like cash prizes and consumer tech have boosted engagement.”

Lightfoot managing director Paul Hollick added: “Currys has saved hundreds of thousands of pounds and reduced its environmental impact. As they transition to a low-carbon fleet by 2030, we’re proud to support their efforts.”
The retailer said it is “fully committed” to transitioning 100% of its company cars and small van fleet and 50% of its medium to heavy fleet to electric or alternative fuel by 2030.
