Would you like to go eco-driving?

Last Updated June 21, 2021

What is eco-driving?

Eco-driving is an environmentally friendly driving method that does not start suddenly or accelerate suddenly, and encourages idling stop.
It has an environmental improvement effect, such as suppressing carbon dioxide, which causes global warming, and exhaust gas emitted from automobiles, and also saves fuel costs. In addition, eco-driving leads to gentle driving and can be expected to have the effect of preventing accidents, so it can be said that it is an initiative of three birds one stone.

○Recommendation of Eco-Drive 10

How can I work on eco-driving? First of all, from this 10 recommendation.

  1. Let's grasp your own fuel economy
  2. Fluffy accelerator "e-start"
  3. With ample distance between vehicles, driving with less acceleration and deceleration
  4. Let's release the accelerator as soon as possible when slowing down
  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 from the air pressure of tires
  9. Let's lower unnecessary luggage
  10. Let's stop parking that interferes with driving

Initiatives in Nine Prefectures

(1) Eco-driving workshop
With the cooperation of driving schools and JAF, we conduct workshops to learn eco-driving by actually driving passenger cars. (If you live in nine prefectures, anyone can apply.)

Eco-driving workshop

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

Let's calculate fuel economy

If you know the receipt (refueling amount) of the gas station and the mileage until refueling (confirmed with a meter), fuel efficiency can be calculated.
