It is believed that 40-50 years down the line, all fossils fuel will be exhausted from earth. No fuel will be left for our new generations. • Therefore, lets save fuel by now for future generation by changing our driving habits and adopting Eco/Technical Driving, which can save fuel : • Avoid excessive braking, clutching and accelerating • Don’t use accelerator pedal like a fuel pump • Don’t press the accelerator pedal more than a 70% of its throttle
Technical Driving / Introduction Introduction Experience show that amongst various driving styles, one of them, known as “technical driving”, leads to huge energy, parts and emissions savings. Accordingly, specific training sessions may help in getting such a style.
* South American companies use to manage energy consumption with an energy efficiency approach through km/l Technical Driving / Introduction The following table gives, for instance, some results logged through training sessions in Some Mexican transport companies:
Step 1. Free driving exercise During this step, trainees drive as they use to do it and some specific measurements are done (trip duration, fuel consumption, number of clutch & brakes uses, etc.). • Step 2. Practical and theoretical course During this step, individual comments are brought on the free driving exercise and in door contents are provided. • Step 3. Technical driving exercise During this step, trainees drive according to concepts given during the course and the same measurement are done before comparison. Technical Driving / Introduction Training session methodology The training methodology is implemented over three steps:
Technical Driving / Objectives At the end of the session, participants will be able to: • Describe possible actions to reduce vehicle fuel consumption • Have a technical driving attitude • Describe impacts on air quality • Identify other actions to reduce vehicle fuel consumption
