The activities of the European Mobility Week has begun this morning in Cartagena with the conclusion of an eco-efficient driving course, organized by the Department of City and Mobility Infarestructuras Cartagena, in collaboration with the St. Nicholas Training Centre.
32 people, divided into two groups of 16, have received a range of information and tips on how to be conducted to achieve fuel savings of up to 15%, a significant increase in comfort, vehicle reducing emissions and noise levels, and improved maintenance of cars.
Councillor for Infrastructure himself, José Vicente Albaladejo has been responsible for welcoming the participants, after the theoretical sessions have been conducted to test practical lessons learned.
Eco-efficient driving courses for cars are one of the priority activities proposed in the new National Plan Savings and Energy Efficiency (E4) for the transport sector, in seeking to achieve the objectives proposed in the National Savings and Energy efficiency in relation to reducing emissions of greenhouse gases and lower energy consumption.
The course has been taught by a group of specialized instructors from St. Nicholas Training Centre and is funded by the Agency for Energy Management in the Region of Murcia (ARGEM).
Its duration is approximately four hours and with a theoretical and practical.
In the latter, we used a fleet of special vehicles owned by the St. Nicholas Training Centre, which are equipped with a set of sensors capable of detecting the main parameters associated with the driving mode of each person, such as fuel consumption or emissions.
TIPS FOR BETTER CODUCCIÓN
To carry out effective leadership, not enough to take into account a number of simple rules, along with a change in attitude will lead to a new style of driving:
- When starting it is necessary to accelerate (in modern cars just turn the key).
- Use first start and move up as soon as possible to second (the first is the largest consumer gear)
- Acceleration and gear changes: In diesel engines between 1,300 and 2,000 rpm, and gasoline engines between 1,800 and 2,500 rpm
- Use more long marches, consume less (a fourth can go from 40 km / h fifth above 50 km / h)
- Anticipate driving speed to maintain as uniform as possible.
- In the deceleration must try to stop coasting in gear (slow down gently with the brake and slow down as late as possible, on the arrests and stops should not be reduced unless absolutely necessary.)
