Abstract

The efficiency of using fossil fuels for transportation is continuously improving. Increasing vehicle efficiency can be done by better internal combustion engine technology or a method of driving the vehicle itself. Eco-riding is a method of operating a vehicle with better fuel efficiency. This paper discusses how to go with eco-riding and compares it to regular driving. The vehicle being tested is a motorcycle with an eco-riding indicator onboard, and the test is carried out with a travel route within the city of Banda Aceh, Indonesia. The trial took ten days of testing with two different traffic options. The first trip is during rush hour, and the second trip is under regular traffic conditions. From the driving test on rush hour trips, the driving system following eco-riding got a 10.62% fuel reduction, while fuel use was 10.93% more efficient for trips in regular traffic. The driving pattern in this study has been demonstrated to reduce fuel consumption significantly.
