Mentor's EcoDrive feature powered by Greater Than helps reduce CO2 emissions and EV battery consumption by up to 20%. It promotes safe, eco-friendly driving and encourages drivers to replace risky driving habits such as hard acceleration, hard braking, and hard cornering with smoother, more eco-friendly behaviors, reinforcing that safe, defensive driving IS eco-driving. Recognizing that close to a quarter of energy-related global greenhouse gas emissions come from transportation, decarbonization is a top priority for many organizations with at-work drivers. Mentor is an ideal solution for such organizations, making it easy for them to quantify their efforts to reduce such emissions and showcase improvements to employees, investors, and other interested parties.
