Greater Than Working With FIA on Smarter Driving

Latest from Greater Than;

The Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) and global provider of driver crash probability and climate impact intelligence Greater Than have launched the 2023 Season of the FIA Smart Driving Challenge (SDC). The FIA SDC is an initiative that aims to foster the adoption of smarter driving behavior and contribute to improving safety on the roads and reducing the environmental impact of mobility.

To join the 2023 Season, participants just have to download the FIA SDC app on their smartphone and connect it to their car via Bluetooth. They will then be invited to join the 2023 Season and compete to be the “World’s Smartest Driver.” The 2023 Season consists of seven heats, each lasting four weeks. Three qualifying drivers from each heat, along with qualifying drivers from four “pop-up challenges” will be entered into online playoffs in November, followed by a live head-to-head finale in December in Baku, Azerbaijan.

“At the FIA, we promote access to safe, sustainable and inclusive mobility as a right for all. The FIA SDC is an important initiative as it supports this commitment globally by empowering everyday drivers to take greater control over their impact on safety and the environment when at the wheel,” said FIA Deputy President for Automobile Mobility and Tourism Tim Shearman. “I encourage FIA Member Clubs and everyday drivers to join the 2023 Season and contribute to driving change.”

The start of this new season coincides with multiple FIA SDC app design updates to enhance user experience, including a new interactive leader board and design refresh. Participants can now see their CO₂ impact in absolute terms, with CO₂ savings displayed in grams as well as percentage. Drivers of Electric Vehicles will see the energy they saved in % instead of the CO₂ information. This measure will give them a better evaluation of their energy efficiency. The updates were introduced to further empower drivers to take ownership of their driving impact.

The Challenge is free and open to drivers using all types of vehicles (electric, hybrid or fuel).

The FIA SDC app is available for download on both iOS and Android.
