Eco-driving focuses on minimising fuel usage and environmental impact while driving. The advantages include reduced fuel costs, lower exhaust emissions (including CO2), less vehicle wear, and improved safety.
Techniques involve avoiding abrupt braking, moderating acceleration, using higher gears for lower engine revs, maintaining a steady speed, minimising excess weight, planning efficient routes, avoiding unnecessary idling, and keeping tires properly inflated. Considering an eco-friendly vehicle is also recommended for a comprehensive approach to environmentally conscious driving.
