“…On the other hand, eco-driving did not make drivers more stressed. Garcia et al [63] observed that non-professional drivers did not become more stressed when they drove in eco mode either. Nevertheless, their driving was more efficient (in fuel savings and CO 2 emissions) when drivers were younger, so driving schools need to provide training in these techniques [64].…”

In recent years, eco-driving has proven to be an effective tool for reducing fuel consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Until now, most research carried out has focused on ordinary drivers applying eco-driving techniques on their usual routes. However, there is little research on professional driver couriers. This research is aimed at analyzing the effects that eco-driving has on fuel consumption and GHG emissions on courier deliveries in small cities such as Caceres (Spain). For this purpose, a real-life experiment was performed with professional drivers with Spanish post vans from the public sector company Correos. In the first period, driving was under normal conditions (non-eco), and after a theoretical training eco-driving course, there was a second driving period (eco). Driving parameters (speeds, accelerations, rpm, and consumptions) were recorded on all trips to analyze how effective the eco-driving was. The research concluded that eco-driving training does not correlate with more sustainable driving for professional drivers under pressure with the need to deliver packages on time. However, there is a trend in fuel savings when using higher capacity routes.

“…It is difficult to change their driving habits only through short-term eco-driving training. It seems to be advisable to establish eco-driving policies in driving schools because novice drivers have not developed driving habits [ 103 ]. However, it should be pointed out that none of these studies considered the decline in driver comprehension due to age; professional drivers participating in the trial were usually older than non-professional drivers.…”

Constrained by traditional fuel-saving technologies that have almost reached the limit of fuel-saving potential, the difficulty in changing urban congestion, and the low market penetration rate of new energy vehicles, in the short term, eco-driving seems to be an effective way to achieve energy-saving and emissions reduction in the transportation industry. This paper reviews the energy-saving theory and technology of eco-driving, eco-driving capability evaluation, and the practical application of eco-driving, and points out some limitations of previous studies. Specifically, the research on eco-driving theory mostly focuses on a single vehicle in a single scene, and there is a lack of eco-driving research for fleets or regions. In addition, the parameters used to evaluate eco-driving capabilities mainly focus on speed, acceleration, and fuel consumption, but external factors that are not related to the driver will affect these parameters, making the evaluation results unreasonable. Fortunately, vehicle big data and the Internet of Vehicles (V2I) provides an information basis for solving regional eco-driving, and it also provides a data basis for the study of data-driven methods for the fair evaluation of eco-driving. In general, the development of new technologies provides new ideas for solving some problems in the field of eco-driving.

“…Sin embargo, la necesidad de realizar una entrega en un tiempo determinado hace estresar al conductor profesional y es muy difícil modificar su estilo de conducción para aplicar técnicas de conducción ecológica. García et al (2018) en su experimento observaron que los conductores no profesionales tampoco aumentaban su nivel de estrés cuando conducían en modo eco. No obstante, la conducción era más eficiente (en ahorro de combustible y emisiones de CO2) cuando el conductor era más joven, por lo que sería necesario enseñar estas técnicas de conducción desde las escuelas de conducción (Stromberg, 2015).…”
