Ecodriving

The term ecodriving is a technique used while driving to reduce fuel consumption. Your driving style affects your car's fuel consumption. By applying eco-driving, you can both save money and reduce pollutant emissions.

There are several different ways to apply ecodriving, or also so-called economical driving. For example, to drive economically, avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking, skip gears and engine brake when appropriate.

• Ecodriving is one of the points you look at during your driving test.
