Why don't you go eco-driving?

Last Updated June 21, 2021

What is eco-driving?

Eco-driving is an environmentally friendly driving method, such as not starting a sudden or acceleration, and encouraging idling stop.
It has environmental improvement effects, such as suppressing carbon dioxide and exhaust gas emitted from automobiles, which are the cause of global warming, and also has the effect of saving fuel costs. In addition, eco-driving leads to mild driving and can be expected to have an effect of preventing accidents, so it can be said that it is an approach of three birds with one stone.

○Eco-driving 10

How do I work on eco-driving? First of all, let's start.

  1. Let's grasp the fuel economy
  2. Soft accelerator "estart"
  3. Driving with less acceleration and deceleration with a wide range of distance between vehicles
  4. Let's release the accelerator as soon as possible.
  5. Use of air conditioners appropriately.
  6. Don't waste idling
  7. Avoid traffic jams and leave with plenty of time.
  8. Inspection and maintenance starting with tire air pressure
  9. Let's take care of unwanted luggage
  10. Don't park your driving.

Initiatives in Nine Prefectures

(1) Eco-driving Seminar
We hold seminars to learn eco-driving by actually driving passenger cars with the cooperation of driving schools and JAF. (Everyone lives in nine metropolitan prefectures can apply.)

Eco-driving Seminar

(2) Eco-driving experience meeting
We hold eco-driving experience sessions using simulators at various events.

Let's calculate fuel efficiency

Fuel efficiency can be calculated if you know the gas station receipt (refueling amount) and the mileage until refueling (confirmed with the meter).
