Explanation

The way you drive directly affects fuel consumption: using the right gears, using the brake properly, avoiding sudden acceleration, etc. all directly affect energy saving. Smooth and appropriate driving reduces wear on the vehicle's working parts, so correct use means fewer visits to the garage. Lower engine revs mean less noise pollution. Eco-driving is based, among other things, on foresight and anticipation, so it reduces the risk of accidents.
