Mindful driving
The new way of driving is a safer, more relaxed, and more fuel-efficient way to drive. Becoming a more mindful and more responsive driver can save up to 10% on fuel costs and decrease the wear on your tyres.
Good for the environment
The new way of driving produces less CO2, which is better for the environment.
The right tyres and tyre pressure
Choosing the right tyres and maintaining the right tyre pressure is an important part of the new way of driving. This, paired with a mindful driving style, can have huge benefits for the environment.

- Activate cruise control to accelerate gradually and to maintain a fixed speed.
- Use a navigation system to reach your destination as efficiently as possible and to avoid driving unnecessary kilometres.
