This article will show the different parameters of the Green Driving Excesses. These excesses can be found in the Dashboard menu as well as in the Green Driving reports.

Parameters Excesses

An excess is based upon different parameters and also depends on the type of vehicle. Below the table for light and for heavy vehicles will be shown including the explanation.

G-forces explained

To clearify the G-forces on which some of the excesses are based we will use an example.

The gravitational force equivalent(G-force) is a measurement of the type of force per unit mass, most commonly accaleration, with a g-force of 1 g equal to the conventional value of gravitational acceleration on Earth, G, of about 9,81 m/s².

Example Excess: Accelerating: >0.4g

1G = 9.81 m/s²

Formula: 0,4G = 0,4*9,81m/s² = 3,924 m/s²

Thus: excess will be generated if a vehicle accelerates faster than 3,924 m/s².
