•
Eco-Driving = Reduced Environmental impact ❯ Potential saving in the EU of 50 million tons of
•
CO emissions by 2010.

Eco-Driving Savings
Total potential saving of 20 - 30%.
Open windows increase fuel
consumption by an average of 5%.
Roof load increases wind drag and
therefore consumption.
Roof Load
Increased
Air Conditioning
can result in 10 - 25%
extra fuel consumption.
(Speed at 120 km/hr)
consumption
Luggage rack
Ski box
Bicycle rack
5 – 10%
10 – 20%
30%
Loaded luggage rack
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
