The Murcia and can point to efficient driving courses (19/09/2011)

They are free and they can save up to 15% on fuel

Murcia City Council, through Local Energy Agency of Murcia (ALEM), organizes workshops efficient driving reason for the European Mobility Week 2011

As the course is to arrange individual appointment with the applicant.

Performing the same route using the new techniques

Comparison of results

Diploma Eentrega

It lasts approximately 3.30 hours in the mornings and each of the 5 vehicles will be used by 4 students (20 students per course).

To help reduce overall energy consumption in machining movements, the first step is the increased use of more efficient transport modes (train and bus for intercity travel and walking, cycling and public transport in urban areas).

However, even using the car to move, we can achieve large energy savings and emissions.

Efficient driving is a series of driving techniques, which together with a change in the attitude of the driver, give rise to a new style of driving according to the new technologies and systems that incorporate modern vehicles.

With efficient driving, along with improved comfort, increased road safety and reduced travel time, get a reduction in fuel consumption and associated emissions to the environment, as well as reduced maintenance costs.

Some of the techniques used to drive more efficiently are:

Starting without stepping on the accelerator.

Use 1st gear just to start, and spend two seconds in the second

Changing gear at 2,000 rpm to 1,500 in gasoline and diesel.

Driving with the higher gears at low revs.

Change gears without waiting for the speed get too high, at around 2000 rpm on gasoline and diesel in 1500.

After changing gear is recommended to accelerate slightly.

Above 50 km / h try to use the 5th gear.

Moderate speed, over 100 km / h consumption multiplies.

Driving with the windows down increases the consumption of the car.

In the city trying to move whenever possible using the 4th and 5th gear.

Turning off the engine in detention for a period exceeding 60 seconds
