Reduce speed and work from home is two solutions proposed by the International Energy Authority (IEA) for businesses in order to reduce fuel consumption. Gasoline and diesel prices have already skyrocketed since the Ukraine war and everyone is now looking for solutions to reduce travel costs.
The IEA said in a report that demand for oil could be reduced by 2.7 million barrels per day (equivalent to the oil demand of all cars in China) if fleets and private drivers pursued a policy result of reducing fuel consumption. At the same time, it suggests ways to save fuel, at a time when its price is very high.
The first issue on the table is speed reduction, as just 10 km / h can quite drop the consumption of a car. Another measure to reduce fuel consumption is to work from home at least three days a week.
He also suggests that car access to city centers be restricted to certain days (even numbers one day, odd numbers the next). A measure successfully implemented in many European cities. Sundays should be car-free in cities. Public transport should be cheaper and the authorities should encourage micro-mobility, walking and cycling. A trend that needs infrastructure and driving education to develop.
The International Energy Authority proposes the joint car usewhich must increase in order to exist reduction of the traffic problemwhile for professionals, efficient driving for cargo and last mile deliveries should be promoted.
The adoption of electric vehicles should be encouraged and incentives should continue to be given for their acquisition, and business air travel should be avoided or, if possible, limited to what is absolutely necessary.
