Deutsche Bahn’s bus drivers are trained to drive their vehicles as energy-efficiently as possible. Driving with foresight, coasting toward red lights, and switching off the engine during longer stops are just a few examples. Modern telematics systems support employees.
Energy efficient driving at DB Regio Bus
At DB Regio Bus, for example, bus drivers receive real-time feedback on their driving style while on the road. The so-called Eco App is in use nationwide and uses different-colored smileys to indicate whether there is room for improvement in energy-efficient driving. The app receives the data from the bus’s telematics system. The system detects the driver’s driving style, automatically evaluates it, and provides tips for energy-efficient driving. No manual operation is required while the bus is in motion.
