Reducing fuel consumption: The key to more efficient and environmentally friendly driving
Did you know that uneconomical driving can increase fuel consumption by more than 20 percent? Or that driving while idle consumes as much as one litre of fuel per hour? For companies with larger fleets, this means thousands of euros of extra costs per year.
Fuel prices are high, so every penny saved counts. As well as direct financial savings, less consumption also means lower CO2 emissions and a longer vehicle lifespan. But how can companies effectively reduce fuel consumption?
The problem of uneconomical driving and how to eliminate it?
Uneconomical driving is one of the main reasons for increased fuel consumption and higher maintenance costs. Common causes include:
- Torque acceleration and braking
- Driving at high engine speeds
- Engine idle for too long
- Inadequate vehicle maintenance (incorrect tyre pressure, worn filters etc.)
All these mistakes can increase fuel consumption by more than 20 percent. In addition, aggressive driving makes brakes, tires and engine wear faster, meaning more breakdowns and higher maintenance costs.
One of the effective driving optimization solutions is the advanced driving mode monitoring system – EKO2GO.
How EKO2GO works and what results does it bring?
The EKO2GO system monitors key driving parameters such as speed, number of accelerations and braking, engine revs and engine idling. Based on this data, it assesses driving behaviour, allowing you to make drivers aware of their mistakes and train them to drive more economically.
Companies that have introduced EKO2GO have recorded significant savings in fuel consumption – on average between 10 and 20%. With a fleet of 50 vehicles, they can thus save thousands of euros a year, while improving road safety and reducing their carbon footprint. In addition, vehicle wear has also been reduced, leading to fewer repairs, emergency services, tyre wear and longer vehicle life.
Bottom line: saving fuel is easy
Reducing fuel consumption is not only a financial decision, but also an environmental responsibility. Efficient driving means lower costs, fewer emissions and less vehicle wear.
