Affect the climate with your driving style

Transport emissions play an important role in mitigating climate change. In addition to fuel solutions, many other factors are relevant when the goal is to reduce transport emissions.

Significant results already with 15 minutes of driving instruction

We explored the potential impact of providing drivers with training on climate-friendly driving as early as in driving school. Shaping the driving style of an entire generation would have a significant multiplier effect on the climate.
