Use cruise control where safe to avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking.

Gentle braking saves fuel and prevents brake wear. Avoid hard stops.

Select the right gear early to avoid unnecessary downshifts and high fuel burn.

Engine braking saves fuel and reduces brake wear. Maintain control without heavy brake use.

Idling wastes fuel. Switch off engine during long waits or loading delays.

Select routes with fewer stops, less traffic, and minimal steep gradients for better fuel economy.

Correct tire pressure reduces rolling resistance and fuel consumption.

Excess weight increases fuel usage, damages roads, and can result in penalties.

Slow down and prepare to stop if gates or lights are active.
