Overview

Eco-Driving Techniques

Eco-Driving Techniques refer to driving methods that reduce environmental impact and improve fuel efficiency, centered around the 'Eco-Drive 10 Recommendations' established by the Eco-Drive Promotion Liaison Committee comprising four ministries: the National Police Agency, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and Ministry of the Environment. These include practical techniques such as idling stop, gentle acceleration (e-start), effective use of engine braking, and proper air conditioning usage, contributing not only to fuel efficiency but also to safer driving.
