“…The results have shown significant improvement in the fuel economy at the rate of 16.9% as compared to the fuel consumption prior to eco-driving. However, the major challenge is that some drivers find it difficult to put into practice their intention to eco-drive [100]. Consequently, these drivers need to be motivated to ensure compliance with eco-driving education.…”

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.

“…Yeon Kim and Chung (), and Hanss, Böhm, Doran, and Homburg (), considered perceived consciousness as an individual's pure belief or expectation of aptitude for a specific objective on the basis of personal appraisal. Lauper, Moser, Fischer, Matthies, and Kaufmann‐Hayoz () indicated self‐ability as the belief in one's skills to deal with barriers on the way to establishing the behaviour in question. Consequently, sustainable consciousness and self‐ability are synonymous conceptual ideas of subjective belief.…”

“…This variable relates to Patterson and Spreng () and Lauper et al () and was included to evaluate the respondents' sustainable consciousness and self‐ability. The evaluation consists of four criteria (for non‐users: “If you were a user, what response would you choose for the following items?”): (i) “YouBike's sustainable functions provide meaningful value for me”; (ii) “YouBike's sustainable performance meets my expectations”; (iii) “I use YouBike because I have more confidence in being able to use it than other forms of transportation”; and (iv) “I use YouBike because I hope to affect others to use it.”…”

“…This variable is based on Svendsen et al () and Lauper et al () and was included to evaluate other people's sustainable norms. The evaluation consists of three criteria (for non‐users: “If you were a user, what response would you choose for the following items?”): (i) “People who influence my behaviour and prefer YouBike's sustainable functions think that I should use it”; (ii) “People who are important to me and appreciate YouBike's sustainable performance will encourage me to use it”; and (iii) “Using YouBike will become a symbol that I support sustainable issues for the people I know.”…”

To explore the essence of sustainable behaviour, a comparison was made between users' and non-users' attitudes towards bike sharing, a green technological mode of transport. The effects of three concepts on the sustainable motivational behaviour of using a bike-sharing service were studied: (i) the individual's own sustainable consciousness and self-ability (the sustainable aptitude of an object and the belief in one's skills); (ii) confidence in the service's health and environmental benefits (a positive anticipation of health and environmental benefits); and (iii) other people's sustainable norms (behaviour based on other people's sustainable attitudes). A multi-group analysis indicated significant differences in the users' and non-users' path estimates, and a risked moderator was obvious for non-users' sustainable consciousness.Other people's sustainable norms have a greater effect, particularly for users, and confidence is also a critical mediating factor for non-users of the green technology for truly sustainable development.

“…Reduced fuel consumption also affects reduction of CO2 emission ranging from 5-25% (Barkenbus, 2010;Mensing, Bideaux, Trigui, & Tattegrain, 2013;Onoda, 2009). The eco-driving benefits are not only limited to the reduction of CO2 emission, and to fuel economy but are far more extensive as indicated in the given studies (CIECA, 2007;Intelligent Energy Europe, n.d.;Lauper, Moser, Fisher, Matthies, & Kaufmann-Hayoz, 2015):…”

The paper presents the evaluation of the Eco-driving program impact (classroom with on-road instructions) on truck drivers' operation parameters. A total of 8 professional truck drivers were tested in the real driving conditions. Evaluation of the training impact on the drivers' behavior was done in three periods: intervention period (P1), one month after training (P2) and four months after training (P3). Data was collected with the assistance of the Scania Fleet Management System TM. Fuel economy and CO2 emission, idling time and coasting were significantly improved in the periods P2 and P3 compared to period P1 while speeding significantly increased. Statistically, the use of the brake did not significantly change in the first and fourth month after the completed training in comparison to the intervention period. The drivers' adoption of the eco-driving tips showed that statistically significant differences in fuel consumption and brake usage were obtained. This study shows that the use of the eco-driving techniques has got a potential for significant short-term reduction of fuel consumption and CO2 emission in road transport; hence in the future the research studies will deal with the effects of training and potential downtrend in the long run (> 6 months). Also, future research projects should analyze the impact of the drivers' socioeconomic characteristics on the application of the eco-driving instructions.
