Grüne Reifen (Green Tires)
launched: 2015 | status: Implemented
Solution Summary
Grüne Reifen (green tires) is a pilot project, where a commercial vehicle fleet is re-equipped with energy efficient tires to save on fuel consumption. The new tires are not only more cost efficient for the company but also reducing the CO2 emission within the city.
Problem
Traffic produces a large fraction of the CO2 emission within a city. Moreover, Inefficient tires on vehicles cause an increased consumption of fossil fuels.
Aim
The aim of the project is to equip the vehicle fleet of companies with energy efficient tires.
Approach
During the project, 130 vehicles of the local company RheinEnergie were equipped with the more energy efficient tires. Furthermore, the fuel consumption of 6 cars was precisely tracked for a half year during regular commercial use. Additionally, the data is used to create a free calculator, where companies can estimate their financial savings by switching to the energy efficient tires.
