Improvement of fuel efficiency of trucks and efficiency enhancement of transportation and delivery - Nippon Express Group
Details of the investigation for
the current year
1. Improving fuel economy
 Install digital tachographs, and reduce the
  amount of fuel used by trucks through the
  appropriate and thorough implementation of
  eco-drive.
2. Improve efficiency of transport and
   delivery
Improve efficiency by consolidating transport and
  delivery vehicles to/from plants and
  commercial facilities within Ho Chi Minh city,
  and reduce CO2 emissions by limiting vehicle
  operations.

 10 Tenets of Eco-Drive (excerpt)
  1. Gentle acceleration (e Start)
  2. Maintain adequate distance from other vehicles
     to drive in a manner so that speed is
     maintained without constantly accelerating and
     decelerating
  3. Release the accelerator quickly when starting to
     decelerate
  4. Stop needless and wasteful idling
  5. Gain an understanding of your fuel consumption
