Ecological Driving deeply reduces CO2 emissions. The appliance of some easy concepts regarding vehicle setup, maintenance
and driving behavior, make a big difference in one of the most important causes of pollution in big cities.
Simax ECO-Driving Simulator allows drivers to learn these concepts. During a free driving exercise through real traffic in an open-urban environment, it firstly allows the driver to setup his vehicle as usually. After a while, the simulator shows a report with data about fuel consumption, CO2 emission, performance of the car and driver behavior.
Then, a second setup of the car is done automatically by the simulator, fixing all the parameters that could be affecting negatively to fuel consumption (tire pressure, open windows, connected A/C, unnecessary loads in the vehicle, roof rack, etc), and some
ECO-Tips are activated, regarding the optimal gear shift point, engine switch off in long pauses, optimal use of the gas and brake pedal, engine braking, etc.
As an example, Simax ECO-Driving Simulator was introduced in the 2008 Madrid International Motor Show, where:
In addition to that, Simax simulators save by default all the exercise reports, providing users with a very good way to make
, to find the best eco-driver who drove farther and with the lowest fuel consumption (and therefore the lowest CO2 emission).
