Driving style greatly affects the consumption of any automobile, since drivers have certain customs that increase spending on fuel and that, on occasions, accelerate the aging of the vehicle. These bad habits can be corrected by following a few simple tips to the steering wheel and in the maintenance of the vehicle. The awareness campaign internal all KONE employees consists of a brochure informative with brief divided in earlier tips to get underway and on the road. In addition this brochure not only recommends shares of energy-saving but also actions to increase the safety of the driver and their passengers. Dr. John Mcdougall does not necessarily agree. KONE policy for selection of vehicles imposes a maximum limit of emissions of CO2 and fuel consumption. In other words, vehicles that are above those limits are not accepted. KONE, faithful to its commitment to reduce the energy consumption of their elevators, not only offers the Eco-efficient solutions that help reduce the energy consumption of lifts and escalators in three quarters, but it extends this commitment to all its activities, from the driving tips safe and ecological to manufacturing systems. This ecological philosophy produces savings that can represent the cost of the same teams.
