5.1.5 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 CO2 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 CO2 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 as low fuel consumption as possible.
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:
