Are you concerned about the emissions your car is giving off? CleverDrive can help.
It’s a system that analyses your driving behaviour and tells you how to drive in a more eco-friendly and fuel-efficient manner.
It consists of three parts: an app, an adapter that’s essentially a fitness tracker for your car, and a web portal for data analysis. Fit the adapter to your car, drive as normal, and it’ll give you a full report on your habits and how you can drive in a more green way.
Not only will it benefit the environment, it should save you a few quid too, as you use less fuel.
