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.

|
In view of the barriers impeding a fast diffusion of advanced driving advice systems, non-technological short term efforts to promote energy efficient driving are especially promising. Many measures including training programmes for drivers can be realized at good cost-benefit ratio and meet virtually no barriers. |
