Testing the smart eco mode in the real world. Credit: TU Delft Driving in eco mode can reduce fuel consumption and is good for both the environment and your wallet. In practice, however, it often causes immense frustration among drivers, causing them to quickly switch off the function. The ...

Over the last decades, due to the exacerbation of the greenhouse effect, many studies focused on analyzing driving habits that lead to efficient fuel consumption and, therefore, to reduction of air pollutants, by identifying the so-called eco-driving. In addition, human behaviors which indicate ...
There are bright spots in the powertrain, however: The 2.4-liter 168-horsepower engine produces more than enough power for a vehicle of this size. Coupled with the large wheels, decent chassis, and well-tuned suspension package make for a solid and driving experience once you get past the CV...
Electric and hybrid vehicles are often advertised as a more sustainable option for eco-conscious drivers, but they may also offer long-term savings compared to combustion engine vehicles. About 96 percent of EV drivers tell AAA they would buy or lease another electric vehicle. Gas An electric ve...

1) coasting in neutral, engine off (ie. roll to a stop); 2) coasting in neutral, engine idling; 3) regenerative coasting (hybrid vehicles) 4) regenerative braking (hybrid vehicles) 5) coasting in "deceleration fuel cut-off" mode (in gear, above a certain engine RPM) ...
Eco-driving appears to be more effective in small, uncongested cities. In addition, limiting speeds on high capacity roads has proven to be a good energy saving measure. 1. Introduction One of the challenges in the developed world is to promote low-carbon mobility models in terms of social ...
Try Eco Mode Tune Your Climate Control Coast When You Can Drive Gently This is one of the oldest techniques in the book: Acceleration uses energy, whether you're driving a gasoline-powered vehicle or an EV. And the harder you accelerate, the more energy your vehicle uses. This is why you...
This is even more true in "full" pulse & glide mode, if you are repeatedly using the starter to re-start the engine. For that reason alone I'd be reluctant to use it to boost "steady state" (e.g. hwy) mileage. Its benefits are more practically realized in situations where you ...
