Drive Smart principals - car efficiency
With private vehicles comprising over 70% of transport mode share in Victoria, car efficiency in both vehicle and usage are among the highest priorities.
Research conducted by Environment Victoria demonstrates that drivers can use less petrol to go the same distance, just by making a few simple changes to the way they drive. This reduces carbon emissions and saves drivers money in petrol costs.
A similar major study of ‘eco-driving’ in Europe found that these simple techniques reduced fuel consumption by 10-20 percent, with a maximum of 50 percent savings.
