Vexia Econav 435 release dates
This Sat Nav, previously only available in Europe is now ready for its UK launch in September 2009.
The Vexia Econav 435 purports to reduce your energy consumption by sending you on the most fuel saving route as well as advising on efficient driving techniques. It will be available with just UK maps or with UK and European data combined.
Makers claim that the Econav can save you up to £400 on your fuel bill and up to 30% on carbon emissions. Theoretically, it should pay for itself in the first six months of use, depending on how many miles you do a day and should ultimately lead to safer and more eco-friendly driving.
The driver simply inputs data into the 4.3 inch touch-screen including details of the vehicle, fuel type and car occupancy and the sat nav will advise on the optimal route. During the course of the journey, the Accelerator Pedal Indicator instructs the driver on the best gear to use and as to whether he or she is being too heavy on the accelerator. Not the Sat Nav for the likes of Jeremy Clarkson maybe, but users should have ample time to reflect on how many pennies they’re saving during the course of the journey.
