Eco-driving can cut up to 25% of your fuel bill. Let’s talk how?

According to the investigated data, by adopting an eco-driving style, drivers can slash both their fuel bill and their emissions by as much as 25 % compared with ‘normal-average’ driving behavior.

Fact is small changes to the way you drive can have a big impact on fuel economy. People go to extraordinary lengths to save money but then they jump in their cars and waste fuel. Through eco-driving they can avoid that.

Poor driving habits can reduce fuel efficiency of your vehicle. As buyers purchase fuel efficient vehicles in large numbers to save cost and benefit the environment; however, few know that good driving habits are the best way to economize.

Let’s go through some simple tips that can help you be a greener, more fuel efficient driver:

Drive Smoothly

Aggressive driving such as fast acceleration, speeding and braking can decrease your fuel mileage significantly. Therefore accelerate smoothly, brake softer and earlier, and stay in a single lane while it's safe to do so.

Slow Down

Speeding consumes lots of fuel. By driving 90km/h instead of 100km/h, you can increase your fuel efficiency by up to 10-15 %. Also, try for a constant speed.

No Idling

Today's automotives don't need a warm up. Start the car quickly and gently to drive away. Don't leave your car idling. Extended idling will increase emissions and waste fuel.

Remove Unnecessary Cargo

Reducing the amount of luggage you keep in your boot or back seat can increase your fuel efficiency as less energy is needed for acceleration.

Reduce Aerodynamic Drag

Your vehicle is designed for excellent aerodynamics. If you spend lots of time travelling on the highway or are planning a long trip, try to carry extra items inside the vehicle or attached to the rear. Also, by keeping your windows and sunroof closed can lower wind resistance. You will have less drag and better fuel economy.

Only Use A/C on the Highway

Your fuel economy decreases by up to 15 % when you utilize the air conditioner at low speeds. So if it isn't too hot, turn off the air conditioner when driving around town, and roll down your windows instead. However, at 90km/h or higher, using the air conditioner is favored compared to open windows.

Use Cruise Control

Initiating your cruise control keeps you from mindlessly driving faster thereby maintain a constant speed, and won't use additional fuel while accelerating. Try to set your cruise control at your vehicle's most fuel-efficient speed, as long as it's at or below the legal limit.

Combine Trips

Many short trips will use more fuel than a single, longer trip. So when you have to drive for chores, get as many completed as you can in one trip to increase your fuel economy.

We hope this blog to be both knowledgeable and beneficial for you. If you want to acquire a used automotiveor equipment with better fuel efficiency, visit your nearby Shriram Automall. As company offers the best in class used vehicles and equipment of every make and model at optimal prices.

While, with change in rates market is going to fluctuate, before it gets completely stable, and we are going to hear a lot about hybrid and electric vehicles. But let’s face it, not everybody owns a hybrid or electric vehicle, and not everybody is convenient with it.

What if you have a family of 5 or more members; in that case these vehicle will not come in handy for you. And even if you have a family of less than 5 members, with the 12 hour journey ahead of you, you can’t expect members to sit uptight rather than being free while having their space, making their journey more of the torture than fun.

So, Shriram Automall India Limited (SAMIL), has brought the tips through which you can make your vehicle more fuel efficient, and also save some bucks for your journey, while being a responsible citizen.

All you have to do is follow these steps:

So, let’s go..!

Don’t Carry Dead Weight

Traveling with excess weight in your vehicle makes your engine burn fuel faster thus degrading your fuel economy, so prefer leaving what you don’t need right where it belongs and i.e. not in your car.

 Use Old Engine Oil

Change the oil in your car according to your vehicles maintenance schedule, and before you leave for the journey ahead of you prefer to change your engine oil, with old engine oil, as age of oil matters when talking about fuel efficiency

 Forget Your Bad Driving Habits

To maximize your fuel economy, you will have to change your petrol/diesel/gas guzzling ways as more steady and consistent your driving becomes, the more fuel efficient your vehicle will be.

 Accept that Cruise Control Won’t Help You

It’s a myth, so don’t fall for it, as you can see it for yourself, set the cruise at 60 MPH and listen to how hard your engine accelerates when you drive up an inclined section of freeway making your engine burn more fuel, than required.

   Keep Tires of Your Car Properly Inflated

Under-inflated tires drastically affect your fuel economy and everybody knows that, so do yourself a favor, and swing by your local gas station and make sure to check your tire pressure.

 Avoid Traffic

Try to following the apps which tells real-time traffic and construction updates right on your phone, as now, you can stop being stuck in the traffic off-guard and be fuel efficient.

This process of updating automotives from BS-IV directly to BS-VI has put a lot of pressure on automotive manufacturers and oil refineries, which makes them doubtful for the completion of this task on time.

As BS-VI compliance will have far reaching implications for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), especially in the diesel engine segment. The new emission regulations will also make the diesel engine tighter.

Moreover, government is looking forward to collect data on real-time basis from on-road vehicles complied with theses emission standards from 2020-2023, when these norms will be applicable for Conformity of Production (COP).

Till then government, has already approved testing agencies to pick up vehicles, with manufacturers and suppliers consultation to practice these emission norms practically and for normal checks.

NEWLY AMENDED AUTOMOBILE BILL – TRANSFORMING TOMORROW

Motor vehicles including, automobiles was first introduced in India at the end of 19^th century. And to regulate their use 1914 Act was the first to be codified which had 18 sections under it.

Government plays a vital role in a citizen’s life by implementing laws and regulations as they are warnings for our safety only and we must follow it, as good laws are the offspring of bad actions only. With evolving times laws for automobile also evolved, from 1914 Act to Indian Motor Vehicle Act1924, Motor Vehicles Act 1939, which came into force in 1940.

Later, Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 was introduced which regulated all aspects of road transport vehicles including both transport and non-transport vehicles. The Act provides details of legislative provisions regarding licensing of drivers/conductors, registration of motor vehicles, control of motor vehicles through permits, special provisions relating to state transport undertakings, traffic regulation, insurance, liability, offences and penalties, etc.

To exercise the above legislative provisions Government of India created Central Motor Vehicle Rules in 1989 and made sure that all the rules under the Act are enforced in a well organized manner, as no laws are better than laws not enforced.

Then again in 2016, Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave the approval to new amended motor vehicle bill in 2016.

 The step was taken to address the issue of road safety and to enhance the customer experience while dealing with the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways which is constituted of Group of Transport Ministers.

Amendments on the existing rule were made to improve the transport scenario in India and to address the issue of road safety by lowering down accidents and fatalities by 50% as over 5 lakh road accidents in a year are reported in the country in which over 1.5 lakh people lose their lives.

The bill aims to amend 68 sections out of 223, it also state the increase in compensation for hit & run cases from Rs. 25000 to Rs. 2 lakhs and payment of compensation upto Rs 10 lakh in road accidents fatalities.

In case, of offence committed by the Juveniles owner/guardian will be deemed guilty and juvenile to be tried under JJ Act, registration of the vehicle would be cancelled as well.

With the aim to properly implement the bill electronic detection devices will be installed to detect the violation like juvenile driving, drunken driving, driving without license, dangerous driving, over-speeding, overloading etc. and people who will break these rules will face strict punishments.

Bill also contemplate to mandate the automated fitness testing of vehicles by october’2018 which will reduce the corruption in transport department while decreasing the human interference and will also increase the road worthiness of the vehicle.

Government is playing its part for pollution free India, but laws alone cannot secure the country until every man present in the country follows them in an organized manner.

So, let’s come together and help government to work towards the common vision of pollution free advance India.
