Treatise Treatise is an EC project operating from January 2005 to June 2007 that provides free training on sustainable transport subjects, primarily for energy and transport professionals. The project […]
Travel on a hill Switch off the engine at short stops Driving round curves Weight Aerodynamics Tyre Pressure Fuel consuming devices Make use of in-car devices Travel on a hill In mountainous regions, it is very important to command the right acceleration and brake manipulation to save considerable fuel. Uphill: The target is to travel […]
There are different ways to train the smart driving style of ECO-DRIVE. The most effective of all is the on-road-training, but there are also training possibilities with simulators and internet simulators. On-Road Training The usual style of learning ECO-DRIVING is through participation in a one- to two- day course in a specially-prepared car, bus […]
Ecodriving is a term used to describe energy efficient use of vehicles. It is a great and easy way to reduce fuel consumption from road transport so that less fuel is used to travel the same distance. In the last decades, engine technology and performance of cars has improved rapidly, while most drivers have not […]
SILVER RULES Fuel-saving starts with choosing a low-emission car Choose a fuel-efficient model with reduced CO2 emissions. Diesel vehicles should always be equipped with particulate filters. A fuel consumption display helps you save fuel. Cruise control and an automatic gearbow can decrease fuel-consumption. Avoid short car trips! Cold engines need much more fuel per km than […]
Ecodriving is the modern and smart way to save fuel and reach your destination swiftly and – most important – safely. Consuming energy/fuel costs money and causes CO2 emissions and air pollutants with negative environmental impacts. Especially driving with high engine revolutions (high RPM) raises the fuel consumption significantly. Also avoidable sequences of acceleration and braking […]

A European-wide campaign – aimed to improve driving behaviour, energy-efficiency and traffic safety among drivers of passenger cars, delivery vans, lorries and buses – was organised within the Ecodriven project. Conducted between 2006 and 2008, the project was supported by the European Commission’s “Intelligent Energy Europe”Programme. For more information about the ECODRIVEN Project click here

Welcome to the ECOdriving – Widespread Implementation for Learner Drivers and Licensed Drivers. The ECOWILL project, launched in May 2010, aims at reducing carbon emission by up to 8 Mt until 2015 by boosting the application of eco-driving across Europe. To reach such an ambitious target the project will roll out short duration eco-driving training programs for licensed drivers in […]
