The passengers won’t notice any of this?

An English ACTUATE poster arguing that while passengers cannot see energy savings, they appreciate the smoother, more fluid ride produced by energy-efficient driving.

Taking your foot from the accelerator? That won’t make a difference!

An English ACTUATE poster showing that using the bus’s momentum and coasting, rather than accelerating, is the most efficient way to save energy while improving ride comfort.

Energy-efficient driving extends journey times?

An English ACTUATE poster explaining that energy-efficient driving is not slower; coasting down gradients reduces consumption without noticeably impacting journey time.

Aren’t the trolleybuses anyway green enough?

An English ACTUATE poster showing that although trolleybuses run on clean hydroelectricity, efficient driving can still save up to 20% of energy, equivalent to 159 homes per year.

Aren’t the trams already green enough?

An English ACTUATE poster showing that although trams run emission-free, energy-efficient driving can save an additional 3% of energy, equivalent to supplying 420 homes.
