Dragonflyer Express Coach Project - Assumptions for modelling
The environmental and financial savings we have calculated are real. If you look at the assumptions we have made they are conservative, in our view, show worst case savings. If you need to travel more often, currently drive a bigger, more thirsty car or if petrol prices increase then savings will be higher.
