Eco-Driving
What is Eco-Driving?

Eco-Driving = Driving in a more careful and environmentally responsible way Eco-Driving = Reduced fuel costs Potential saving in the EU of 20 billion euros by 2010 Eco-Driving = Reduced Environmental impact Potential saving in the EU of 50 million tons of CO2 emissions by 2010

Eco-Driving Savings
Total potential saving of 20 - 30%.
Roof load increases wind drag and therefore consumption. Open windows increase fuel consumption by an average of 5%. Air Conditioning can result in 10 - 25% extra fuel consumption.

Roof Load
(Speed at 120 km/hr) Luggage rack Ski box Bicycle rack Loaded luggage rack

Increased consumption
5 10% 10 20% 30% 35 40%

Low Tyre Pressure result in higher fuel consumption (up to 3% extra from 0.5 bar too low) Tyre pressures can fall by 2.5 - 5.0% after one month, and by 20% after 5 months.

Shifting up gear earlier can result in 8% saving.

How to Eco-Drive?
Starting

Remove any extra weight and roof load Plan your route to avoid detours Avoid using your car for short journeys Check your tyre pressures regularly Service your car according to owners manual Shift up gear earlier Only use electrical accessories when necessary (e.g. A/C) Follow and anticipate the traffic flow Keep your windows closed (use ventilation system when possible) Switch off your engine if you have to wait longer than 30 - 60 seconds 15
