Honda has taken one more serious step towards a fuel economy and the environment protection. The Japanese have presented a new technoledgy named Ecological Drive Assist System that will suggest a driver how to consume less fuel.
The EDAS combines three different functions. The first one is ECON Mode that New Generation Honda Odyssey owners have already had time to evaluate. In the “on” position the control over the work of the engine and transmission passes to the computer. The system solves such questions as for example energy saving of the conditioner, the increase of latency in system “Stop - start”, etc.
The second part of the EDAS is an indicator which shows how much in the optimum the engine consumes fuel at present. Green color means that everything is normal, blue-green - that the fuel input is acceptable and dark-blue - indicates that reading is unsatisfied, it is necessary to change a driving manner, having refused from sharp accelerations and sudden braking.
At last the third block of the system is responsible for the statistics. On the display there is a plant due to which the driver can learn how economically the car consumes fuel throughout a trip. The more stalks - the better saving rates.
It is expected that on serial cars the Ecological Drive Assist System will appear in 2009. Hybrid Insight becomes the first model which will receive this novelty.
