5.1.4 Green routing
Route calculation is not only about finding the quickest or shortest route. For some of the vehicle types,
you can also check the fuel consumption and CO
2
emission when planning a route, and you can create
cost effective routes with less effect on the environment.
In Settings, select
to enter the necessary parameters of your vehicle and the
average fuel price. You can also select whether you want to see the difference between your route and
the green route even if the selected routing method is not Green.
After the above parameters are set, select
as route planning method to get a fast but
also fuel efficient route. Note that travel cost and CO
2
emission calculations are estimations only. They
cannot take elevations, turns, curves and traffic conditions into account. Also, this routing is not meant to
give you the "greenest" route of all. It is still important to travel quickly so the result is a fast route with low
fuel consumption and CO
2
emission.
With a vehicle type where green routing is selectable, whichever route planning method is selected, the
Green details are also shown when you confirm the route:
