The European Union has set the goal of significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 as part of the Green Deal. The „Fit for 55“ program specifies these requirements, particularly for the transport sector, by introducing stricter CO2 regulations for new vehicles and promoting the expansion of climate-friendly mobility solutions. In addition to manufacturers and infrastructure, private drivers can also actively contribute to reducing CO2 emissions. Bridgestone points out that even small adjustments in driving behavior can achieve measurable effects.
Eco-Driving as a Practical Solution
In light of rising energy prices, eco-driving, an environmentally conscious driving style, offers a concrete way to reduce fuel consumption. Bridgestone identifies several key measures that drivers can implement to drive more efficiently. This includes consciously adjusting driving style. Smooth acceleration, anticipatory driving, and early gear shifting help save energy. Those who assess traffic situations in advance and utilize the vehicle’s momentum can further reduce consumption.
Another aspect is speed regulation. On the highway, a moderate speed can noticeably lower fuel consumption, as reported by the Federal Environment Agency. However, the exact effect depends on the type of vehicle and individual driving style. Additionally, small routines, such as turning off the engine during longer stops and considering the EU tire label when purchasing tires, can also contribute to fuel savings.
Tire Maintenance and Its Importance
Tire maintenance plays a crucial role in the efficiency and safety of a vehicle. Correct tire pressure is particularly important, as too low pressure can increase fuel consumption by up to eight percent. Therefore, it is advisable to check tire pressure monthly. The condition of the tires should also be regularly monitored. Checking the tread depth helps determine the optimal time for a tire change. The tread should always be above the wear indicators, and damage to the tire sidewalls should be avoided.
A professional inspection can also detect uneven wear early, which often indicates incorrect tire pressure or improperly adjusted axle geometry. To maximize tire lifespan, three factors are crucial: tire pressure according to manufacturer specifications, a consistent driving style, and adherence to the recommended speed.
The Choice of the Right Tires
In addition to driving style and maintenance, the choice of tires also plays an important role in everyday efficiency. Modern tires with optimized rolling resistance can reduce energy consumption and further lower CO2 emissions. An example of this is the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6, equipped with Enliten technology. This premium all-season tire is suitable for both combustion engine vehicles and electric vehicles, offering a balanced combination of efficiency, safety, and mileage.
The Enliten technology allows for targeted design for lower rolling resistance while maintaining high performance, without compromising safety or practicality. Combined with a conscious driving style and regular maintenance, these measures help maintain tire performance over the long term and enhance safety.
