Arriva North East: Rare & Odd Workings - February 2016

(21 Feb 2016, 12:49 pm)RobinHood wrote I don't think you understand how Econospeed works. It's an ECU system that manipulates the driver input, it can't damage a bus, unless a bus would normally have been damaged if driven with consideration?

Simply put, if a driver floors the accelerator, Econospeed kicks in and tells the ECU to only apply X amount of throttle rather than full. It's exactly the same as someone getting in and actually only applying marginal throttle.

It simply can't damage the bus.

That said, it can over influence, resulting in not enough throttle being allowed, which causes problems for the service, but not the vehicle.

Spot on Robin Hood!
