“…A positive effect of the training on drivers was acknowledged and, perhaps, more effective than offering simple advice to drivers on eco-driving tips. In this regard, a reduction in fuel consumption was induced by up to 20% [94]. However, Gaines et al [95] asserted that the training was more effective on elderly motorists as compared to young drivers.…”

“…Thus, 57% of the participant in the survey had their driving behaviour improved. However, simple advice has always been inefficient with respect to smooth deceleration [94]. On the other hand, a positive effect was found regarding gearshift, steady speed and thus, reduces CO 2 emission by up to 14% while NO x emission by 40% [119].…”

Driving Behaviour and Sustainable Mobility—Policies and Approaches Revisited

Climate change is receiving increasing attention in recent years. The transportation sector contributes substantially to increased fuel consumption, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and poor air quality, which imposes a serious respiratory health hazard. Road transport has made a significant contribution to this effect. Consequently, many countries have attempted to mitigate climate change using various strategies. This study analysed and compared the number of policies and other approaches necessary to achieve reduced fuel consumption and carbon emission. Frequency aggregation indicates that the mitigation policies associated with driving behaviours adopted to curtail this consumption and decrease hazardous emissions, as well as a safety enhancement. Furthermore, car-sharing/carpooling was the least investigated approach to establish its influence on mitigation of climate change. Additionally, the influence of such driving behaviours as acceleration/deceleration and the compliance to speed limits on each approach was discussed. Other driving behaviours, such as gear shifting, compliance to traffic laws, choice of route, and idling and braking style, were also discussed. Likewise, the influence of aggression, anxiety, and motivation on driving behaviour of motorists was highlighted. The research determined that driving behaviours can lead to new adaptive driving behaviours and, thus, cause a significant decrease of vehicle fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions.

“…Part of the greenhouse gases (which increased prevalence is widely considered a dominant cause of climate change) are emitted by citizens, with vehicles being the largest source of CO 2 ‐emissions for a typical household in the United States (US Department of Energy, ). Our focus is on fuel‐efficient driving (green driving, eco‐driving)—a pertinent behavioral option to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of automobiles by 10–20% on average (e.g., Andrieu & Saint Pierre, ; Barkenbus, ).…”

The present research examined the role of a fictional character's trustworthiness on narrative persuasion. The authors suggest that trustworthiness indicators within the story, rather than paratextual cues (fact–fiction labeling) affect persuasive outcomes. An experiment on fuel‐efficient driving behavior (green driving) was conducted, with behavioral intentions and self‐reported behavior (3 weeks postexposure) as dependent variables. A story with a trustworthy character who introduced green driving behavior led to stronger intentions to engage in fuel‐efficient driving among car owners than a story with a less trustworthy character who provided the same information or a control story. Low character trustworthiness was particularly detrimental to story‐consistent intentions and behavior for recipients who were not deeply immersed into the story world (low narrative presence).

“…It is found that these practices have reduced 30% of fuel consumption, as well as 95% of accident rates. (Andrieu & Pierre, 2012). The study conducted in Japan by Ryosuke Ando and Yasuhide Nishihori found that the practice of eco-driving has reduced 10 -20% of fuel consumption along with stress level, accident rata, and traffic jam.…”

The global auto industry is responsible for 15.9% of carbon emission (OICA) and among that, vehicle users are responsible for around 80% of carbon emission (JAMA). Awareness about environmental problems caused by this emission is rapidly increasing among people and governments are organizing various campaigns to make people familiar with the eco-driving concept. Vehicle users do not realize that their driving style has a direct influence on fuel consumption and this, in turn, leads to unwanted carbon emission. Therefore, there is a need to understand the car users' eco-driving behavior and explores the awareness level of passenger car users. Data has been collected from 400 respondents through the help of a structured questionnaire with a focus on eco-driving behavior practices. Analysis of this data showed that the pressure given to accelerate the engine is transformed into tailpipe emission. Therefore, this study highlights the importance of inculcating eco-driving behavior among car users in particular and vehicle users in general.
