6 ways to reduce your vehicle emissions

When society is making an attempt to distance itself from carbon or other greenhouse gases and attain net-zero emissions by 2050, here are the 6 ways that can help you make a difference:  

Changing Air filter

Every engine needs a proper and seamless supply of air to keep the vehicle efficient, so even a slight blockage can create an unwarranted loss.

Air conditioning

More air conditioning results in engines working harder, hence more fuel consumption means more emissions. Try to use less air conditioning and retain the performance of the vehicle.

Reduce idle time

While being stuck in traffic, it’s better to turn off the engine, it relaxes the vehicle and on the same hand emit less carbon. A Win-Win!

Think clean

Walking to a destination is always a good choice, it keeps you healthy and at the same time, less harm to the environment. If you can couple two journeys into one, that’s even better!

Remove roof box when not needed

Anything on top of the vehicle creates resistance which simply translates into more fuel consumption and ultimately more emissions.

Check the tire pressure

If a tire is not inflated enough, it essentially consumes more fuel to run. So, you should check your tire pressure at regular intervals to ensure smooth working.

Drive at a steady pace

The more often you make use of the accelerator or brakes, the more fuel your vehicle eats up and releases more carbon. Drive at a steady pace to avoid the same. These are some of the predominant ways that help you keep your vehicle more efficient and at the same time, it’s good for the environment.

Win-Win for everyone!
