Study shows effects Scooter used to reduce emissions and fuel consumption

In a recent survey conducted by International Communications Research of Piaggio Group Americas, it was found that most Americans are concerned about global warming. The study also revealed that more than one thousand one third of respondents said that they are willing to use scooters as vehicles for replacement part their travels.

In addition to this survey, the Piaggio Group has also undertaken a study to determine how the use of scooters in large cities may have an impact on the environment. The study revealed a positive outcome for the use of scooters.

With the help of Sam Schwartz PLLC, road construction and planning of Piaggio scooters found impact of the use of capital, as New York. The company created a transport model in New York City, where the entered data to simulate the number of scooters on the streets of New York. The company has created scenario, where 20 percent of vehicles made up of skis. After that, they were able to obtain the projection data, where the scenario is observed into practice.

Result of the study shows that 20 percent of vehicles on the streets of New York City are scooters, traffic delays can be is reduced as much as 4.6 million hours annually. Translated to a person who represents a time savings of nearly 100 working hours. This means that the use of scooters on major cities not only reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, but also reduce the amount of time spent in traffic delays as a result.

With regard to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, study found that if 20 percent of the total number of vehicles in New York City, more than 26,000 tons or 52 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions will be felled. This is consistent with 2.5 million liters of fuel that can be saved each year under the same scenario.

Reduction fuel consumption and hence emissions is due to the fact that motorcycles are considerably smaller engines compared to cars. Scooters are also light, which means that less fuel is needed for power from one place to another. This shows that although the engines are scooters not equipped with performance enhancing aftermarket products such as Superchips performance chip, and can still provide good fuel economy.

All in all, according to the survey, the total savings to New York City, where 20 percent of vehicles roaming the streets are scooters would go and reaches more than 122 million U.S. dollars annually in fuel and labor productivity.
