Training in Defensive, Economical and Environmental Driving


Framework:

Concerns about fuel economy in driving vehicles occur in all types of means of transport, especially those that depend on oil as a source of energy for locomotion. Energy efficiency depends on several factors, from vehicle factors to external factors, namely road and environmental factors. The driver’s style of driving is fundamental and must be taken into account in the final equation regarding energy consumption, since the driver is the main element that most influences fuel consumption and the emissions that are released. As pollution is one of the main aspects that lead to the creation of standards, legislation and widespread concern, it is essential for drivers to acquire the skills for economical, defensive and environmental driving.
