You are driving a truck on a gradient. What must you consider regarding driving power to overcome the gradient resistance?

The driving power of the truck must always be less than the driving resistances

The driving power of the truck must be greater than the driving resistances

The gradient resistance must always be greater than the driving power of the truck

The gradient angle must always be greater than the driving power of the truck

4 / 15

You are driving a truck with a manually shifted transmission. How should you behave when driving on gradients?

I should always select a gear that allows me to drive the gradient in the yellow range of the engine tachometer

I should always select a gear that allows me to drive the gradient in the green range of the engine tachometer

I should give full throttle when the engine speed begins to drop

I should always give full throttle until the end of the gradient

What does fuel-efficient driving do for the environment?

Fewer raw materials, such as petroleum, are consumed

Higher noise pollution

A reduction in environmental pollution

Lower noise pollution

7 / 15

Category: Class C -8- Eco-friendly Driving - Level 1

You are driving a truck with a manually shifted transmission and are driving on a gradient. When must you downshift?

When the engine speed threatens to drop below the green range of the engine tachometer despite full throttle

When the engine speed can only be kept in the green range of the tachometer with full throttle

Only when the engine begins to vibrate heavily

Only when the engine speed has dropped to idle speed

8 / 15

Category: Class C -8- Eco-friendly Driving - Level 1

Which factors affect the air resistance of a truck?

The total weight of the vehicle

The shape of the vehicle

The speed being driven

The wind direction and wind strength

9 / 15

Category: Class C -8- Eco-friendly Driving - Level 1

What is the purpose of the green range on the engine tachometer?

It provides guidance for the correct shifting point

It shows the engine speed range with the lowest torque

It shows the engine speed range with the lowest specific fuel consumption under full load

It shows the engine speed range with high torque

In some regions of Austria, driving bans apply under the Air Pollution Control Act (IG-L). How can you obtain reliable information about whether truck driving is restricted in a region?

By asking municipal associations

By researching on the internet

By asking the Chamber of Commerce

By asking automobile clubs

Where can you find information about the optimal speed range of your truck?

In the truck's registration document

On a sticker on the right side of the vehicle

On the printout from the digital tachograph

In the truck's operating manual

12 / 15

You are driving a truck with a manually shifted transmission. What options do you have to reduce fuel consumption?

I should only shift up when the needle of the engine tachometer is at the upper end of the yellow range

I only fill up with eco-diesel fuel

I regularly check the tire pressure

I turn off the engine during longer standstills or use the truck's start-stop system if available

13 / 15

Category: Class C -8- Eco-friendly Driving - Level 1

You are driving a truck with a manually shifted transmission. Which measures save fuel?

I select the gear so that the required torque is achieved at low engine speed

I make sure to keep the engine speed under load in the green range of the tachometer as much as possible

I skip individual gears when accelerating if possible

I select the gear so that the required torque is achieved at high engine speed

What advantages does careful route planning bring?

It definitely results in a longer driving time

Rush hours and roads prone to congestion can be avoided

It usually results in a shorter driving time than spontaneous route selection

Driving breaks can be planned in advance so they can be taken at the optimal time at a suitable location
