9. SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY

10. Sustainable mobility Mobility is defined as the number of movements of people and goods that are made in a certain place, whether these trips are made efficiently or not. Transport is the most energy-consuming sector in Spain, reaching 40% of the total. For its part, the private vehicle approximately 15% of the total. C02 emissions from the use of road transport vehicles is estimated to represent 48% of total emissions. In 2000 there were 700 million vehicles worldwide, an amount that will double, according to forecasts, by 2030.

11. Sustainable mobility Spain is the EU country most use the private car for journeys under 3 Km. In fact, around a third of all car journeys are less than 2 km. This is very inefficient in terms of resource consumption (energy), generation of emissions and for our economy.

12. Sustainable mobility • Problems resulting from irresponsible use of private transport: • Increased CO2 emissions and therefore direct effect on Climate Change. • Health problems arising from increased air and noise pollution and stress levels associated with jams and accidents. • Loss of usable space for the enjoyment of citizens. In the new urban development urban space occupied by mobility often results in more than 50%. • Increase in accidental deaths. Traffic accidents are the leading cause of death in children under 50 years. • Reduced quality of life in cities. • In many cases, low economic performance.

13. Sustainable mobility All citizens have the ability to choose to support initiatives that help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and also improve our health and quality of life.

14. Sustainable mobility • Recommendations to reduce the use of private vehicles: • Avoid using the car for short distances. Do walking, your health will thank you too. If you dare, a bicycle can travel 5 or 6 miles in 20 minutes. • Whenever possible, find an alternative to car use. Public transport is more efficient than private vehicles.

15. Sustainable mobility • Recommendations to reduce the use of private vehicles: • Most commuting is done with a single occupant. Try to organize with peers to share the car. • When buying a new vehicle, choose a model to suit your needs and consider the data of consumption and CO2 emissions. • Efficient driving saves fuel and reduce emissions in 15%. Follow the advice we offer.

21. EFFICIENT DRIVING BENEFITS:

22. EFFICIENT DRIVING BENEFITS • Reducing fuel consumption. • Average savings of 12 to 15%

23. EFFICIENT DRIVING BENEFITS • Reduction of repair costs and vehicle maintenance. • Brakes • Clutch • Gearbox • Tyres • Motor

24. EFFICIENT DRIVING BENEFITS • Reducing environmental emissions. • For every liter of gasoline or diesel fuel, 2.35 and 2.6 kg of CO2, are produced, respectively. • With eco-driving is estimated an average saving of CO2 emissions by about 15%. • European Climate Change Programme (ECCP) in 2001 estimated a potential reduction of CO2 emissions thanks to efficient conduct of at least 50 million metric tons, equivalent to annual emissions of 15 million vehicles.

25. EFFICIENT DRIVING BENEFITS • Improved driving safety. • Because it is based on the following premises: • Keep a safe distance than usual. • Maintain a constant average speed. • Driving ahead and anticipating maintaining adequate visual field.

26. EFFICIENT DRIVING BENEFITS • Improved ride comfort. • Reduces stress and aggression • Increases comfort

27. EFFICIENT DRIVING BENEFITS EFFICIENT DRIVING TECHNIQUES • Starting without stepping on the accelerator • Minimize the use of the 1 st place • Circular gears as long as possible • Maintain a steady speed • Moderate speed • Increase the use of the shooting by the gear inertia • Turn off the engine at long stops • Tips on curves and movement in a caravan

28. EFFICIENT DRIVING TECHNIQUES • Starting without stepping on the accelerator • The accelerator results in a higher fuel consumption and a mismatch of electronics. • If the car is gasoline, we must immediately start up • If the car is diesel, wait a few seconds

29. EFFICIENT DRIVING TECHNIQUES 2. Minimize the use of the 1 st place • The shorter the gears, the greater the fuel consumption. • The 1 st gear ratio is used only to set in motion the vehicle. • The 1 st gear is changed to 2 nd at 2 seconds or at 6 meters walked.

30. EFFICIENT DRIVING TECHNIQUES 3. Circular gears as long as possible • The longer the go, the lower the consumption.

31. EFFICIENT DRIVING TECHNIQUES 3. Circular gears as long as possible Gearshift

32. EFFICIENT DRIVING TECHNIQUES 3. Circular gears as long as possible Progression in Speed ​​(from the 2 nd): • If the movement is fluid, it changes to 3 rd, speeds up to 50-60 km / h and is passed directly to 5 ª. • If heavy traffic, speeds in 2 nd and 4 th is passed. • Immediately after the completion of change has to be accelerated so fast. • Some cars have a gear shift indicators, which show the time to be changed to achieve more efficient driving.

33. EFFICIENT DRIVING TECHNIQUES 3. Circular gears as long as possible Ups and downs Uploading • Delay as possible the reduction gears, increasing pressure on the accelerator, without actually stepping on to the bottom. • Runs • Circular in higher gears, using as much of the shooting by inertia. • It could be possible to shift gears in a lower number of revolutions. • If the car is much faster, brake gently and only when absolutely necessary, reduce to a lower gear. Never down in neutral.

34. EFFICIENT DRIVING TECHNIQUES 4. Maintain a steady speed Advantages • Fuel savings • Reducing emissions • Improving road safety • Increased traffic flow in • Increased passenger comfort

35. EFFICIENT DRIVING TECHNIQUES 4. Maintain a steady speed Fuel savings and emissions reduction (the power required to drive at constant speed is very low) • By accelerating use the fuel energy to propel the car. • When braking, some of this energy is wasted, especially with sudden stops (brakes are heated by the transformation of the propulsion energy to heat.) • Therefore, a repeated acceleration and braking need lots of energy, with a consequent increase in fuel consumption.

36. EFFICIENT DRIVING TECHNIQUES 4. Maintain a steady speed • Most cars only need 5 kW of power for driving at a constant speed of 50 km / h. • A 120 km / h, the amount of power required increases to approximately 25 kW. • 90% (or more) of the left engine power is only used in the acceleration of the vehicle or to drive at very high speeds.

37. EFFICIENT DRIVING TECHNIQUES Techniques to maintain a steady speed • Higher gear at low engine speed and throttle pedal to ¾ of its travel. • To anticipate the traffic: Controlling a field of vision of at least 3 vehicles in front and looking alternately greater or lesser distance.

38. EFFICIENT DRIVING TECHNIQUES Techniques to maintain a steady speed • Keep a safe distance: • 30 meters when traveling at 50 km / h. • 80 meters when traveling at 100 km / h.

39. EFFICIENT DRIVING TECHNIQUES Devices that can help • Cruise control: acts on the throttle, keeping a constant speed.

40. EFFICIENT DRIVING TECHNIQUES Devices that can help • Trip Computer: Shows the average fuel consumption and instantaneous fuel.

41. EFFICIENT DRIVING TECHNIQUES Devices that can help • Econometer: for measuring fuel consumption.

42. EFFICIENT DRIVING TECHNIQUES 5. Moderate speed Advantages • Reducing fuel consumption. • The consumption of the vehicle increases with quadratic form respect to speed. • Example: going from 100 to 120 km / h (speed increase of 20%) an increase in fuel consumption by 44%. • Emission reduction. • Increase road safety.

43. EFFICIENT DRIVING TECHNIQUES 5. Moderate speed Technique to reduce speed • Try not to exceed the speed of 100-120 km / h. Devices that can help • Cruise control • Speed ​​limiters

44. EFFICIENT DRIVING TECHNIQUES 6. Increase the use of the shooting by the gear inertia To slow (or stop), we must lift off the throttle and let the vehicle roll by its own momentum with the gear. Under these conditions the consume of the vehicle is zero. If necessary, the brake smoothly and ultimately reduce gear. Do not leave the car in neutral, it is dangerous and increases consumption.

45. EFFICIENT DRIVING TECHNIQUES 6. Increase the use of the shooting by the gear inertia • Advantages • Reduced brake wear and maintenance costs. • Emission reduction. • Increase road safety, traffic flow and convenience of travelers. The car inject approximately 0.5 to 0.7 l / h of fuel to maintain idle or neutral. The movement of the wheels to leave the car running with the progress, keeps the engine running, and above20 km / h the fuel consumption is zero.

46. EFFICIENT DRIVING TECHNIQUES 7. Turn off the engine at long stops • Fuel consumption at idle is 0.5 - 0.7 l / h, so turn off the engine resulting in fuel savings. • Recommendation: Turn the engine stops over 1 min. Frequent stops do not harm the motor. • But don’t forget: Energy efficiency should never take precedence over safety.

47. EFFICIENT DRIVING TECHNIQUES 8. Tips on curves and movement in a caravan Curves • Slow foot off the accelerator and letting the vehicle roll by its own momentum with the gear. You can serve the braking deceleration smoothly and ultimately will reduce gear. • During the course of the curve, the gas will remain in a stable position. At the end of it, will continue the normal process of acceleration. • You shouldn’t hit the brakes before to reach the curve, it’s better reducing gears and accelerate in the path. Hit the brakes increases the cost of the fuel and the risk of accident.

48. EFFICIENT DRIVING TECHNIQUES 8. Tips on curves and movement in a caravan Caravan • Circular gear as possible, taking advantage of the inertia of the car. • Avoid speeding and stopped repeatedly.

49. EFFICIENT DRIVING MANAGEMENT OF VEHICLE ACCESSORIES • Additional weight • Aerodynamics • Correct tire pressure • Accessories that increase fuel consumption • The energy label vehicle

50. EFFICIENT DRIVING MANAGEMENT OF VEHICLE ACCESSORIES • Additional weight • Vehicle weight increases fuel consumption. • An extra charge of 100 kg in a mid-range vehicle of 1,500 kg, is an extra consumption of around 7%. • The additional weight a vehicle must be minimized.
