Report: Save More Than Fuel Campaign

Website: www.savemorethanfuel.eu | View the Video Clip

On 27 May 2008, the European Commission, together with Europia, the European Petroleum Industry Association, launched the Save More Than Fuel Initiative. The Initiative promotes energy efficient driving habits among European car users.

"To reach our ambitious targets of CO2 reduction and energy savings we have to make a big effort in all sectors. In certain cases this will require high tech solutions, but in others we just need to apply some common sense. This campaign provides a set of simple tips to reduce CO2 emissions and save money, simply by driving more intelligently. Learning a few tricks will help EU citizens to keep more fuel in their tanks, more money in their pockets and more CO2 out of the atmosphere", said Energy Commissioner Andris Piebalgs.

Over 45,000 petrol stations across 29 European countries will take part in the campaign led by Europia - "Save More Than Fuel" campaign to distribute millions of leaflets on fuel efficiency and responsible driving behaviour. These leaflets will be available to consumers at filling stations, with additional information on the dedicated website. Coinciding with this campaign, the Commission has launched a short video clip, already available in EU-Tube, with some tips on how to drive efficiently and safely.

All the materials on the website, created to help consumers understand how to drive more efficiently through humorous animations of the driving tips, have been translated into 24 different languages.

Countries participating in the campaign include: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Estonia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
