II. - 4. Energy Conservation Measures for the Transportation Sector

Example of Efficiency Improvement through
the Top Runner Standard
(for Gasoline Passenger Vehicles)

The Top Runner fuel economy standard was formulated in April 1999 with the target year of FY 2010.
Fuel economy improved by approximately 22% in FY 2004 when compared with the fuel economy standard base year (FY 1995).

In addition, approximately 80% (shipment base) of gasoline passenger vehicles achieved the FY 2010 fuel economy standard by the end of FY 2004 as a result of active efforts by manufacturers and the green taxation plan for vehicles, etc.

Necessity of Dissemination
and Promotion of Energy-Saving Driving

Fuel economy of new vehicles improved substantially through the introduction of the Top Runner fuel economy standard. However, fuel economy can further improve by energy-saving driving.

Approximately 25% fuel economy effect can be achieved by energy-saving driving. Fuel economy effects differ depending on individual driving situations. However, energy-saving effects can be expected particularly in urban areas where drivers start and stop frequently.

It is possible to know the transition of fuel economy and the improvement of fuel economy by energy-saving driving by utilizing the energy-saving driving support system.

Necessity of Dissemination and Promotion of Energy-Saving Driving

Measures to Disseminate and Promote Energy-Saving Driving

The Eco-Drive Promotion Liaison Committee was set involving the four concerned ministries and agencies(National Police Agency, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and Ministry of the Environment) in FY 2003 to disseminate and promote energy-saving driving.

The Liaison Committee formulated the "Eco Drive 10 Advices" and "Soft Acceleration, e-Start" for a slow start campaign. It also formulated the "Action Plan to Promote Eco-driving" in June FY 2006.
