Vehicle maintenance and tyre pressure
Baseline strategy · No scoreCheck pressure, filters, oil and general condition with the indicated periodicity, because an unattended vehicle consumes and emits more.
How it works
Check pressure, filters, oil and general condition with the indicated periodicity, because an unattended vehicle consumes and emits more.
It changes the physical, economic and organizational conditions so that walking, pedaling, sharing and using collective transport is viable and attractive.
When does it make sense?
- When deciding location, accesses and parking
- Knowing origins, schedules, capabilities and travel needs
- Where the measure does not displace more inclusive or less impact options
How to apply it
- 1
Defining which need resolves "vehicle maintenance and tyre pressure" and establishes a starting situation.
- 2
Compare alternatives and adapt design to climate, use, regulation, affected people and available resources.
- 3
Apply with clear responsibilities, check the actual result and correct unwanted effects.
Potential benefits
Less emissions and traffic
More physical activity
More efficient use of space
Limitations and precautions
- Maintenance reduces consumption per kilometer but not the number of kilometres, which is usually the dominant variable.
- An isolated infrastructure can have little effect without continuity, security and operation.
- Accessibility, care, hours and people without alternatives should be considered.
