II-2(3). Energy Conservation Measures for the Transportation Sector
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.

II-2(3). Energy Conservation Measures for the Transportation Sector Fuel Economy Disclosure and Labeling System for Vehicles
The system was introduced in January 2004 to deepen consumer interest/understanding on fuel economy and promote cars with high fuel performance. Disclose Fuel Economy Performance The disclosure is targeted for cars of which fuel economy standards are set based on the energy conservation law. Either the status of "fully compliant"or "plus 5% of the fuel economy standard" will be publicly displayed. Label a Fuel Economy Identifiable Sticker Label a sticker on the body of a car that conforms either to "fully compliant with the fuel economy standard" or "plus 5% of the fuel economy standard".
