The Japan Post Group is trying to reduce CO₂ emissions by ensuring environmentally friendly gentle driving to prevent traffic accidents and reduce fuel consumption.
Japan Post recommends ways of driving that care for the environment and safety, such as the use of engine braking, checking vehicles before driving (checking tire pressure to prevent reduced fuel efficiency), and the use of idle-stop systems, calling the style of driving "Eco Anzen Drive (driving green and safely)."
