Promotion of Stopping Idling

·Idling while loading/unloading or waiting for the traffic light to turn green consumes gasoline as much as standby electric power consumed by home appliances.

* The saving of 7% of gasoline consumption was achieved in the running test in the urban areas!! … by JAF Report

↓

Effect expected:Saving of oil equivalent to 1,390,000 kl/year
•< This is equivalent to 8.2% of the energy conservation goal in the transportation sector >

Measures:

Drivers’ activity to manually stop idling while vehicles are stationary
Popularization of hybrid vehicles and vehicles equipped with the automatic idling stop system ← subsidy by METI
Popularization of a device to automatically turn the engine off and on linked to
the foot-brake operation → subsidy by METI

Effect of the E-Co Navi

(Energy Consumption & Cost Indicator)

Electric power consumption before and after:
(based on the data from 784 houses)

This "E-Co Navi" can express the comparison of the consumption with the target figures or the preceding year's consumption . In this way, this makes it easier for everyone to carry out energy saving activities, and thereby contributes to total energy conservation.

Since November 1998, the "E-Co Navi" were installed at 800 houses every year across the country. In 2001Fy, 4,600 are installed . Monitoring by ECCJ has been continuing up to the present.
