A new way of driving (eco-driving)

Het Nieuwe Rijden
Behind the term “eco-driving” is a new way of looking at the way you drive. The emphasis here is on using your vehicle efficiently.
 
Tips on changing your driving style:


Change to a higher gear as soon as possible
Change up as soon as you can, between 2,000 and 2,500 rpm. This applies to cars with petrol or diesel engines.

80 km/h in fifth gear
Maintain a steady speed as much as possible and try to achieve a low rpm in the highest gear possible.

Tyre pressure
Check your tyre pressure every month.

Anticipate
Look as far ahead of you as possible so yu can anticipate what will happen on the road.

Switch off your engine
Switch off your engine whenever possible.
