2. http://www.efficient20.eu A Network with concrete actions Efficient 20 was designed to encourage farmers and foresters to contribute to reach the target set by the European Union of 20% energy savings compared to the projections by 2020. 32 pilot groups in 9 different countries implemented fuel saving actions A European communication campaign allowed speaking loud about fuel savings Tractor manufacturers, agricultural schools and farming organisations were invited to join the network

3. http://www.efficient20.eu Background The focus was put on fuel oil used in farming machinery, which represents more than 50% of the energy consumed in agriculture The agricultural operations are complex, fuel consumptions are not well known Making savings as attractive as renewable energy production was our challenge!

4. http://www.efficient20.eu Useful information on our website efficient20.eu A database with 2617 operations recorded, with reports and graphs Contact us to know more on how to access the full results Teaching modules for eco-drivers, handouts, presentations and handbooks on fuel savings in agriculture and forestry Tips and quiz about fuel savings Pilot groups presenting their achievements

5. http://www.efficient20.eu Final results Objective : 20% fuel savings in pilot groups at the end of the project Results : the comparative tests run in pilot groups show that savings between 5 and 40% can be achieved, according to the solution tested 34 eco-driving sessions have taken place, often in partnership with tractor manufacturers 61 Associate members, including manufacturers and dealers 99 demonstrations and advertising in fairs and open days
