Learn not only driving skills but also their need
- Why Eco-safe driving leads to respect for society as a whole
- Why Eco-Safe driving is good for the environment
- Danger prediction and response unique to trucks and buses
- Fuel efficient driving methods
- Checkpoints before driving
Gear according to the situation
- Shift gear between 1500 and 1800 RPM
- Step on the accelerator at about 80%
- Maximum acceleration is 1500-1800RPM
- Fuel efficiency is the best in the middle of a green zone of the engine tachometer
- It is good to start the shift before the needle enters the green zone
Let’s be aware of the engine speed
- When driving at a constant speed, the engine speed is 1000 to 2000 RPM
This speed is ideal!
- This is the most economical driving method
- Use the accelerator to the minimum necessary
- Accelerate / decelerate within 10 km as much as possible
- Although it is important to be aware of the number of revolutions, let’s drive with safety first and foremost
The accelerator is gentle
- Step on gently
- The upper limit of speed is 80 to 90 km
- High speed requires power
- If you do so, fuel efficiency will worsen
- Air resistance also increases
- Therefore, fuel efficiency will improve if you drive 80 to 90 kilometers
- Reducing the speed by 10 km will improve fuel efficiency by 10%
Let’s use the brake properly
- Step on gently
- Use the engine brake when decelerating
- Let’s step on the brake at an appropriate timing with a margin
- Use the brake pedal the minimum according to the traffic conditions
- This leads to improved fuel efficiency
Let’s stop idling
- If you idle for 3 hours a day, if you use it every 25 days, it will be 720L of fuel consumption per year
- In case of a large truck, it will be approximately 1,170L per year
- Stop idling during breaks and filling in in the truck
There are still more
- Check tires pressure and fuel efficiency on a regular basis
- The cargo is well balanced and does not carry extra items
- Let’s keep an appropriate distance
- Air conditioning only when necessary
- Check the route in advance
- Avoid peak traffic as much as possible
