Abstract
A new fuel-efficiency support tool has been designed that has proven to reduce fuel consumption significantly by inducing a directed and consistent change in driving behaviour. The fuel-efficiency support tool continuously determines the current context of a vehicle and calculates the optimal driving behaviour for minimising fuel consumption within this context. If actual driving behaviour deviates from this optimal behaviour, detailed advice is presented to the driver on how to change driving behaviour in order to minimise fuel consumption.
