At Fiat we've always make compact, practical, and economical cars. Today as we all start to think more carefully about our impacts in the environment; this philosophy is more relevant than ever. We're proud to have the lowest average CO2 emissions of any car manufacturer in Europe and now we want to help improve your fuel efficiency even further with an innovation eco:Drive. Eco:Drive is an easy-to-use computer application that will help you improve how efficiently you drive. It analyses your driving style, and helps you use less fuel, reducing your CO2 emissions and saving you money between 5%-20% if used effectively. How does it work? Easy. You just download the application from the Fiat website on to your computer. You then plug any USB stick into Blue & Me port of your FIAT, and information on the way you drive will be safe to it automatically. You then plug the stick back into your computer and the information uploads into the eco:Drive application. Our clever technology then gets to work, converting your data into useful facts and figures. It's completely anonymous. So no one else sees your details. Eco:Drive analyses your driving technique and marks it out of 100 giving you a score according to your eco:Index. It shows you efficiently you driven based on your acceleration, deceleration, gear change, and speed. Clever step by step tutorials can help you improve your score by showing you how to improve your driving using information from your own journeys. There are lots of other ways to use eco:Drive too. You can monitor the total number of miles you drive, your CO2 emissions, and the money you've saved. You can even track your progress overtime and set yourself challenges to improve your eco:Index score. You'll also be part of unique online community called Ecoville. That is populated by all the Fiat eco:Drivers around the world. As more drivers join, the community grows, and so does the savings we all achieve together. Eco:Drive is an industry first. It's a beta version, but it'll evolve and develop as more people use it and comeback with new ideas. The technology is complex, but the result is simple. You and thousands of drivers like you save money and reduce your carbon footprint. If each one of us makes just a few small changes, together we'll create the world of difference. Eco:Driver is free and ready to download now.
