Maximize Fuel Savings: The "Green Driving" Skills of LEXICO Drivers

Introduction

In the context of ever-increasing operating costs, optimizing fuel consumption is not only an economic necessity but also an environmental responsibility. At Le Xi Trading and Services Co., Ltd (LEXICO), we are committed not only to providing high-quality chauffeur-driven car rental services in Hai Phong but also to applying "Green Driving" (Eco-Driving) techniques to ensure maximum cost efficiency and minimize emissions.

Our professional LEXICO drivers are rigorously trained to make every trip not just safe, but also as economical as possible. Below are the 5 core secrets we consistently adhere to for maximum fuel savings.

1. Maintain Consistent Speed and Stable Acceleration

The biggest mistake that causes excessive fuel use is the habit of sudden acceleration and hard braking. Abrupt speed changes place unnecessary strain on the engine.

• Accelerate Slowly and Smoothly: LEXICO drivers avoid pressing the accelerator pedal too deep. Gradual acceleration allows the engine to operate most efficiently.

• Maintain Stable Speed: Once the desired speed is reached, keep the pedal steady. Utilizing Cruise Control (if available) on highways is an excellent way to maintain stability, allowing the engine to run at the optimal RPM for fuel efficiency.

2. Minimize Engine Idling Time

Leaving the engine running while the car is stationary (idling) is a complete waste of fuel.

• If stopping for longer than 30 seconds (e.g., waiting for passengers at Cat Bi Airport, waiting at a long red light), our LEXICO drivers will switch the engine off.

• Studies show that restarting an engine only consumes fuel equivalent to about 3 seconds of idling. The habit of turning off the engine during long stops results in significant long-term savings.

3. Regularly Check Tire Pressure

Under-inflated tires are a leading cause of increased rolling resistance, forcing the engine to work harder and increasing fuel consumption by up to 5-10%.

• Weekly Checks: Our vehicle fleet's tire pressure is checked according to the manufacturer's standards (usually found on the driver's side door jamb or fuel cap) before every shift.

• Correct tire pressure not only helps save fuel but also ensures safety during braking and cornering, while extending tire lifespan.

4. Use Air Conditioning (A/C) Judiciously

Air conditioning is essential for passenger comfort, but it places a significant extra load on the engine.

• Moderate Temperature Setting: LEXICO drivers avoid running the A/C at maximum capacity constantly.

• Using Outside Air: When driving slowly in the city, opening the windows instead of using the A/C can sometimes save fuel if the weather is mild. However, on the highway, we prioritize passenger comfort and keep the windows closed to reduce aerodynamic drag, which can sometimes consume more fuel than the A/C itself.

5. Reduce Vehicle Load and Perform Regular Maintenance

Vehicle performance is the most critical factor in fuel optimization.

• Eliminate Unnecessary Items: LEXICO vehicles are always kept tidy, removing heavy items that are not relevant to the trip from the trunk.

• Scheduled Maintenance (Prerequisite): Regular maintenance ensures the engine runs smoothly, with clean air filters and spark plugs, guaranteeing the vehicle always operates in its ideal state for fuel consumption.

Conclusion

Green Driving skills are not a temporary strategy but an integral part of LEXICO’s professional operating procedure. Our dedication to optimizing fuel consumption not only helps us manage costs effectively but also reinforces our commitment to providing a safe, high-quality, and environmentally friendly transportation service in Hai Phong.
