Applying ecodriving practices
In the city
On the highway
Not all eco-driving principles affect fuel consumption in the same way, especially if the driving environment is different. The table below explains these principles by order importance when driving in the city and on the highway.
In the city
| Priority | Physical force | Technique/Tip |
1 |
Acceleration force | Eliminate accelerations (anticipate more, maintain a safe distance and a constant speed) |
2 |
Acceleration force | Recover accelerations (anticipate more) |
3 |
Acceleration force | Reduce accelerations (anticipate more) |
4 |
Aerodynamic force | Reduce your speed |
5 |
Rolling force | Regularly adjust your tire pressure |
6 |
Motive force | Drive at the highest possible speed ratio |
7 |
Motive force | Accelerate without hesitation |
On the highway
| Priority | Physical force | Technique/Tip |
1 |
Aerodynamic force | Reduce your speed |
2 |
Acceleration force | Eliminate accelerations (anticipate more, maintain a safe distance and a constant speed) |
3 |
Acceleration force | Recover accelerations (anticipate more) |
4 |
Acceleration force | Reduce accelerations (anticipate more) |
5 |
Rolling force | Regularly adjust your tire pressure |
6 |
Aerodynamic force | Remove storage and bicycle racks after use |
7 |
Driving force | Drive at the highest possible speed ratio |
