In this section, you will learn the basics on how to drive environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient. The relevant physical laws are explained and practical tips are given so that you can save fuel. The physics formula is only for explanation and can be skipped if desired.

The physics

Kinetic energy: Kinetic energy describes the energy required to accelerate a body (e.g., a vehicle) to a velocity v. You can imagine this energy as petrol (energy carrier), which must be burnt to reach this speed.

E = ½*m*v^2

With:
E: Energy [J]
V: Speed [m/s]
m: Mass [kg]
