Energy efficient driving by low-tech measures

evaluated

A considerable part of the reduction potential offered by energy efficient driving may be exploited by non-technological or low-tech measures. Whereas a fleet-wide installation of sophisticated electronic advise systems meets considerable barriers, the measures discussed here may help to obtain a saving effect in short term.

Technology field: Energy efficient driving



General information

General criteria

Environmental criteria

Economic criteria

	Vehicle - fix costs: not applicable
		Costs for training seminars depend on their duration and synergy effects with other training measures.

	Vehicle - running costs: significant reduction
		(no details available)

	Infrastructure - fix costs: low
		Costs for setting up special schedules and signs along the track indicating the optimum point for coasting as a help for drivers are low to medium.

	Infrastructure - running costs: unchanged
		(no details available)

	Scale effects: none
		(no details available)

	Amortisation: < 1 year
		Experiences at DB AG show that very good cost-benefit ratios can be achieved with short-term measures to promote energy efficient driving strategies.
