Ecodriving – Light vehicles

Ecodriving consists in applying driving tips and techniques that make it possible to reduce your fuel consumption for a given route, regardless of the vehicle that is used.

Good acceleration management is one of the most important principles of ecodriving. 

Proven savings potential

Drivers who have successfully followed the ecodriving training course can reduce their fuel consumption by an average of 10% by applying its principles every time they take their car.

Launched in the spring of 2009, a pilot ecodriving training project was conducted to test the fuel savings that can be generated through ecodriving. The project involved monitoring the energy performance and driving habits of 93 drivers from five different companies over a one-year period.

The results of this pilot project were released in November 2011.
