The concept of EcoDriving was brought to Sweden by Swedish National Association of Driving Schools (STR) in 1998, and was developed and adapted to Swedish conditions in collaboration with public authorities and business companies.
EcoDriving is a style of driving which will help you to save both money and the environment. The method can be applied to every kind of vehicle, and at present there are four concepts each focusing on different types of vehicle.
- EcoDriving for motorcars
- Heavy EcoDriving for heavy motor vehicles
- Working EcoDriving for utility vehicles
- EcoDriving Rail for railroad engines
With EcoDriving we know it is a quantifiable success. We began work of the concept of EcoDriving more than 10 years ago. With more than 50,000 drivers properly trained, motivated, supervised and incentivized we have the data to prove it is more than a fad; it is a permanent lifestyle change with positive impact on the Environment, Economy, Corporate bottom line and Individual quality of life.
With 10 years of experience and insights we now want to share our work with the rest of the world.
If you want to become a more environment-friendly motorist, you can make an excellent start by systematically keeping track of your own car's fuel consumption.
