EcoDrive: Become a better driver.

A compact OBD-II logger and phone app that scores every trip, finds the habits costing you fuel and explains how to fix them.

Overview

Know how you drive. Then improve it.

EcoDrive plugs into the OBD-II port and records what the car is doing, alongside a motion sensor that feels braking, acceleration and cornering. The coach app turns each trip into a score and shows which habits cost you fuel.

A score for every trip

A clear rating broken down across acceleration, braking, speed control, coasting and idling.

Fair by design

Scoring takes hills, stop density and slow traffic into account, so you aren’t penalised for conditions.

Raw data first

The device logs raw data to its SD card and analysis happens afterwards, so scoring keeps improving without new hardware.

How it works

Plug in, drive, get coached.

Plug in

Push it into the OBD-II port. It starts and stops each trip on its own.

Drive normally

No need to open the app. The device records every trip.

Get coached

Open the app afterwards for your score, route and the habits to work on.

The coach app

Every trip, scored and explained.

See how you drove, what it cost you, and exactly what to change.
