Measures for Reducing the Volume of Fuel Consumption of Automobile

Promotion of Cars with the “Idling-Stop” System

Idle-free driving can improve fuel economy by approx.10%.
Even greater energy conservation effect is expected in city areas, where idling frequency is high.
Partial subsidy for the purchase of cars equipped with the “idling-stop” system was introduced in FY2003.
Promotion campaigns for the “idling-stop” systems are held in the forms of PR events, etc.

Results of “The Idling-Stop 2002 Caravan throughout Japan”

In October 2003, an event for “idling-stop” experiments took place at Tokyo’s Ginza and Osaka’s Shinsaibashi traffic lights.

Nationwide (3719km)… 5.8% on average
Or 13.4% in city areas

The Effectiveness of Idling Stop 1

Stopped Time and Status of Implementation of Idling Stop

In total travel, the ratio of stopped time is 24% and idling stop is implemented in 52% of the stopped time.
In urban centers, the ratio of stopped time increases to 48% and between such urban centers, the ratio of stopped time decreases to 14%.
Idling stop is implemented in about half of the stopped time.

Reduction of fuel consumption by:
5.8% in total travel
13.4% in urban centers
