Abstract

High fuel consumption is a serious problem facing the Chinese government and commercial vehicle companies. While continuously optimizing vehicles’ fuel performance and guiding customers to buy right vehicles, we are committed to teach the users to achieve the best fuel consumption through correct driving. In a 5 year project of the driving behavior of commercial vehicle drivers, we’ve found that different driving styles are able to cause a 30–50 % increase in fuel consumption.Through acquisition of a large amount of driving data, we’ve established identification methods for driving behaviour, namely, APP Map and AET Map. We have also summarized the operation key points of saving fuel and helped the transporters to improve their fuel consumption with the methods. At the same time, we’ve developed a device to help drivers to drive in a fuel-efficient way.
