What exactly is the ECO mode in the car?

The name ECO is synthesized by ecology, conservation and optimization. Since its birth, it has been based on science and technology, environmental protection and economy, and these three performances have also become the quality that ECO intelligent engine family products always pursue.

The main principle of ECO mode is not very complicated. It is mainly to comprehensively judge and analyze the influence of automatic transmission gear, engine speed, vehicle speed, braking and transmission oil temperature on fuel consumption. The ECU control unit calculates the optimal fuel quantity and provides it to the engine to do work, which effectively reduces fuel consumption compared with the ordinary driving mode. Simply put, it is to control the engine speed with a reasonable gear to reduce unnecessary fuel consumption.

In fact, the ECO mode is more like an intelligent fuel-saving escort, guiding the owner and reminding the owner to drive correctly. When the optimal fuel supply is reached, the green word "ECO" will be displayed on the dashboard synchronously. The word "ECO" will disappear if you step on the gas pedal to accelerate, or if you encounter a climbing road. When the ECO mode is started, the vehicle will automatically match the best gear and speed to reduce fuel consumption. At the same time, the owner needs to actively control the throttle and brake during driving to achieve the best fuel consumption.

ECO, an energy-saving vehicle, has been installed in Japanese joint venture brands and Japanese and Korean cars, such as Beijing Hyundai's Rena and IX35, FAW Toyota's Corolla and Crown, GAC Toyota's Camry and Yizhi and Dongfeng Da Yue Kia's Freddy. In recent years, with the continuous improvement of environmental protection standards, ECO functions have been applied in some mid-to high-end cars, such as Opel series under GM, such as Opel 20 1 1.
