class="caption-text-description"> <p>In addition to showing the fastest route, Google Maps will also display the one that’s most fuel or energy efficient, if it doesn’t happen to also be the fastest. With just a few taps, you can see the relative fuel or energy savings and time difference between the two routes and choose the one that works best for you. Fuel-efficient routing uses AI to suggest routes that have fewer hills, less traffic, and constant speeds with the same or similar ETA.</p> <p>The most efficient route varies based on what type of engine you have. For example, diesel engines are usually more efficient at higher speeds than petrol or gas engines, while hybrid and electric vehicles perform better in stop-and-go traffic.</p> <p>That’s why drivers can now select their engine type, too—gas/petrol, diesel, hybrid, or electric—in order to get the best route and most accurate fuel or energy efficiency estimates.</p> <p>This technology is made possible thanks to insights from the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and data from the European Environment Agency. By pairing this information with Google Maps driving trends, we developed advanced machine learning models trained on the most popular engine types in a given region. In 2023, we started rolling out fuel-efficient routing to India and Indonesia, adding to our existing coverage in the United States, Canada, Egypt, and nearly 40 European countries. And, in India and Indonesia, we’re including fuel-efficient routes for two-wheelers to help even more people travel more sustainably.</p> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section> <div class="card-flex-square"> <p class="subsection-title-square">Related resources</p> <div class="cards-item-square"> <div class="cards"> <img class="cards-img" src="https://www.gstatic.com/marketing-cms/assets/images/ce/2f/8298494b47a9a85936e1c58ba230/newways-large.webp" alt="A busy city street with traffic stopped at a traffic light"> <p class="glue-headline glue-headline--headline-5"> New ways we’re helping reduce transportation and energy emissions </p> <div class="card-link-cta"> <div class="link-story"> <a href="https://blog.google/outreach-initiatives/sustainability/google-transportation-energy-emissions-reduction" class="sus-link" title="View story: New ways we’re helping reduce transportation and energy emissions" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-ga-event="select_content" data-ga-cta-url="https://blog.google/outreach-initiatives/sustainability/google-transportation-energy-emissions-reduction" data-ga-section-name="related resources" data-ga-content-type="story"> View story </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="cards"> <img class="cards-img" src="https://www.gstatic.com/marketing-cms/assets/images/e4/ef/024896114c999b5c38649c352745/green-routes-hsvbkm8-width-1600-format-webp.webp" alt="An illustrated car, with the driver alongside, in front of a route diagram and some trees"> <p class="glue-headline glue-headline--headline-5"> You can drive drive more sustainably and save money with Google Maps </p> <div class="card-link-cta"> <div class="link-story"> <a href="https://www.blog.google/around-the-globe/google-europe/eco-friendly-routing-in-europe/" class="sus-link" title="View story: You can drive drive more sustainably and save money with Google Maps" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-ga-event="select_content" data-ga-cta-url="https://www.blog.google/around-the-globe/google-europe/eco-friendly-routing-in-europe/" data-ga-section-name="related resources" data-ga-content-type="story"> View story </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section> <div class="card-flex-bulb"> <p class="subsection-title-bulb">Did you know?</p> <div class="cards-item-bulb"> <div class="cards"> <div class="bulb-icon-container"> <span class="material-symbols-outlined sus-button--icon bulb-icon"> wb_incandescent </span> </div> <div class="card-link-copy glue-headline glue-headline--headline-5 frame-sub-heading"> <p>As of the end of 2023, fuel-efficient routing is estimated to have helped enable more than 2.9 million metric tons of carbon emissions reductions since the feature launched—equivalent to taking approximately 650,000 fuel-based cars off the road for a year.<sup>1</sup></p> </div> <div class="card-link-cta link-story"> <a href="https://blog.google/outreach-initiatives/sustainability/google-transportation-energy-emissions-reduction" class="sus-link" title="Learn more" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-ga-event="select_content" data-ga-cta-url="https://blog.google/outreach-initiatives/sustainability/google-transportation-energy-emissions-reduction" data-ga-section-name="did you know?" data-ga-content-type="cta"> Learn more </a> </div> </div> <div class="cards"> <div class="bulb-icon-container"> <span class="material-symbols-outlined sus-button--icon bulb-icon"> wb_incandescent </span> </div> <div class="card-link-copy glue-headline glue-headline--headline-5 frame-sub-heading"> <p>Global searches for “how to save fuel when driving” increased +55% from 2022 to 2023.<sup>2</sup></p> </div> <div class="card-link-cta link-story"> <a href="/trends/" class="sus-link" title="Learn more: Global searches for how to save fuel when driving increased by 60% from 2022-2023." data-ga-event="select_content" data-ga-cta-url="https://sustainability.google/trends/" data-ga-section-name="did you know?" data-ga-content-type="cta"> Learn more </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <div class="footnotes-section"> <div class="note-text"> <p><sup>1</sup> Google uses an AI prediction model to estimate the expected fuel or energy consumption for each route option when users request driving directions. We identify the route that we predict will consume the least amount of fuel or energy. If this route is not already the fastest one and it offers meaningful energy and fuel savings with only a small increase in driving time, we recommend it to the user. To calculate enabled emissions reductions, we tally the fuel usage from the chosen fuel-efficient routes and subtract it from the predicted fuel consumption that would have occurred on the fastest route without fuel-efficient routing and apply adjustments for factors such as: CO2e factors, fleet mix factors, well-to-wheels factors, and powertrain mismatch factors. We then input the estimated prevented emissions into the EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator to calculate equivalent cars off the road for a year. The cumulative figure covers estimated emissions prevented after fuel-efficient routing was launched, from October 2021 through December 2023, while the annual figure covers estimated emissions prevented from January 2023 through December 2023. Enabled emissions reductions estimates include inherent uncertainty due to factors that include the lack of primary data and precise information about real-world actions and their effects. These factors contribute to a range of possible outcomes, within which we report a central value.</p> </div> <div class="note-text"> <p><sup>2</sup> Based on Google Trends data as of April 2024 when comparing global Google Search interest in 2023 to that of 2022.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="glue-modal modal-parent report-modal-parent" role="dialog" aria-modal="true" aria-labelledby="modal-label" data-preview-id="low-emission-zone-alerts" aria-describedby="modal-content-low-emission-zone-alerts"> <div class="preview-dialog" data-ga-page-view="page_view" data-ga-preview-text="preview/" data-ga-scroll-event="scroll" data-ga-scroll-depth="25,50,75,100"> <button class="glue-modal__close-btn low-emission-zone-alerts close-button sus-icon-button" tabindex="0" aria-label="Close the modal"></button> <div id="modal-content-low-emission-zone-alerts" class="preview-content"> <div class="product-feature-model commitment-model"> <section> <div class="model-title"> <p class="model-title-heading">Product features</p> <span class="arrow-icon material-symbols-outlined">chevron_right</span> <a class="sus-button--low-emphasis modal-title-button close-button-link" href="/empowering-individuals/#google-maps" data-ga-event="in_page_navigation" data-ga-section-name="Empowering individuals" data-ga-content-type="in_page_navigation"> <img alt="Snapshot of UI for Google Maps showing lite nav" class="model-title-img" src="https://www.gstatic.com/marketing-cms/assets/images/e8/93/f9c22ea9474ea8123d09d09d9a1c/image-281.webp"> <span class="model-title-subheading"> Google Maps </span> </a> </div> <h3 class="glue-spacer-3-top model-title-text">Low emission zone alerts</h3> <div class="glue-grid__col glue-grid__col--span-4-sm glue-grid__col--span-8-md glue-grid__col--span-6-lg glue-grid__col--span-8-xl glue-order-1 glue-order-2-md glue-order-2-xl scroll-section-img"> <img class="scroll-section-image" alt="UI for Google Maps low emissions zone alerts in Amsterdam showing two possible route options." src="https://www.gstatic.com/marketing-cms/assets/images/b5/32/96e2369d47c9bfa5d76856139240/emission-on-mobile-large.webp"> <div class="caption-text"> <p class="caption-text-heading">How it works</p> <div class="caption-text-description"> <p>Cities around the world have established low emission zones—areas that restrict polluting vehicles like certain diesel cars or cars with specific emissions stickers—to help keep the air clean.</p> <p>To support these efforts, alerts can help drivers better understand when they’ll be navigating through one of these zones in select markets.

Making sense of the options can be overwhelming, and people often need a new system on short notice, like when a boiler breaks in the middle of winter or an air conditioning unit stops working during a record-breaking heatwave. To make it easier for people looking for more sustainable heating and cooling options for their homes, we’re updating our Search experience to show energy efficiency information and financial incentives when people search terms like “heat pumps” or “air conditioning.”</p> <p>For example, when you search for energy-intensive products like furnaces or water heaters in the U.S., suggestions in the Shopping tab will help narrow your search to more sustainable options.</p> <p>In Europe, meanwhile, energy-intensive products in all relevant categories are shown with precise energy labeling

transportation, including driving, transit, and flying.</p> <p>One of the ways we’re doing this is by helping people find alternatives to flying. For example, say you searched for flights from Madrid to Barcelona. That’s the most-traveled air route in Europe, but the high-speed rail option is only an hour longer than the shortest flight. When considering time at the airport, price, and carbon emissions, rail can often be the better choice.</p> <p>That’s why we’ve begun rolling out <a href="https://blog.google/outreach-initiatives/sustainability/google-transportation-energy-emissions-reduction/" target="_blank">train route suggestions</a> when people search for flights on Google Search, so travelers can better understand all their options.</p> <p>We also work with academic experts and providers across the industry to help travelers find flights that emit less carbon dioxide. Google works with the travel industry, academics, and travel providers on the Travel Impact Model (TIM), a methodology for estimating per-traveler flight emissions. We hope this publicly available model will help people and organizations make better informed travel decisions.</p> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section> <div class="card-flex-square"> <p class="subsection-title-square">Related resources</p> <div class="cards-item-square"> <div class="cards"> <div class="glue-video yt-video"> <div class="glue-video__preview-container glue-video__preview-container--inline"> <picture class="glue-video__preview"> <img class="glue-video__preview-image yt-container" alt="Video preview image" src=""> </picture> <div class="glue-video__info"> <svg class="glue-icon glue-video__play-button glue-video__play-button--red" role="presentation"> <use href="/static/img/glue-icons.svg#video-youtube-red"></use> </svg> </div> </div> <div class="glue-video__container glue-video__container--inline yt-thumbnail" data-glue-yt-video-vid="Mfbudul12PM"> </div> </div> <p class="glue-headline glue-headline--headline-5"> Find flights with lower per-traveler carbon emissions </p> <div class="card-link-cta"> <div class="link-story"> <a href="https://blog.google/products/travel/find-flights-with-lower-carbon-emissions/" class="sus-link" title="View story: Find flights with lower per-traveler carbon emissions" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-ga-event="select_content" data-ga-cta-url="https://blog.google/products/travel/find-flights-with-lower-carbon-emissions/" data-ga-section-name="related resources" data-ga-content-type="story"> View story </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="cards"> <img class="cards-img" src="https://www.gstatic.com/marketing-cms/assets/images/79/30/7d6fcdfd40889b48a6c0c13fed38/aiairlines.webp" alt="Airplane against blue sky with contrails trailing behind"> <p class="glue-headline glue-headline--headline-5"> How AI is helping airlines mitigate the climate impact of contrails </p> <div class="card-link-cta"> <div class="link-story"> <a href="https://blog.google/technology/ai/ai-airlines-contrails-climate-change/" class="sus-link" title="View story: How AI is helping airlines mitigate the climate impact of contrails" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-ga-event="select_content" data-ga-cta-url="https://blog.google/technology/ai/ai-airlines-contrails-climate-change/" data-ga-section-name="related resources" data-ga-content-type="cta"> View story </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section> <div class="card-flex-bulb"> <p class="subsection-title-bulb">Did you know?</p> <div class="cards-item-bulb"> <div class="cards"> <div class="bulb-icon-container"> <span class="material-symbols-outlined sus-button--icon bulb-icon"> wb_incandescent </span> </div> <div class="card-link-copy glue-headline glue-headline--headline-5 frame-sub-heading"> <p>71% of surveyed travelers want to make more sustainable choices, according to a 2022 Booking.com survey.</p> </div> <div class="card-link-cta link-story"> <a href="https://globalnews.booking.com/download/1161485/booking.comsustainabletravelreport2022final.pdf" class="sus-link" title="Learn more" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-ga-event="select_content" data-ga-cta-url="https://globalnews.booking.com/download/1161485/booking.comsustainabletravelreport2022final.pdf" data-ga-section-name="did you know?" data-ga-content-type="cta"> Learn more </a> </div> </div> <div class="cards"> <div class="bulb-icon-container"> <span class="material-symbols-outlined sus-button--icon bulb-icon"> wb_incandescent </span> </div> <div class="card-link-copy glue-headline glue-headline--headline-5 frame-sub-heading"> <p>Consider replacing shorter flights with a train or bus ride.
