Explanation

Eco-driving techniques aim to reduce fuel consumption and environmental pollution, while also making driving more comfortable. They mean calmer driving, which increases the level of safety. Defensive driving techniques, for their part, let us anticipate any adverse situation, so that we can use the vehicle's controls in time and prevent possible road accidents. These two driving techniques complement each other.
