The 12 week study conducted at Blue Circle Southern Cement in Somerton, Victoria, also found eco driving saved wear and tear on vehicles, with the number of gear changes and brake applications reduced by 29 per cent and 41 per cent respectively. It found the smoother driving techniques did not increase travel times over the 30 kilometre test circuit. The encouraging results from the pilot study provide justification for a larger field trial to confirm the statistical significance of the results.
