Highlights Eco-driving is one way of increasing energy efficiency. Monetary reward system enables drivers to engage in eco-driving behaviors. Found the positive impacts of eco-driving motivation, knowledge and eco-driving reward on fuel efficiency.

    Abstract Every year, bus companies consume millions of litres of fuel, and their fuel costs often exceed millions of US dollars. These companies have an obvious interest in reducing their fuel consumption. One way to encourage drivers to engage in eco-driving behaviours, as well as their related beliefs, is to use a monetary reward system. The aim of this study was to explore the incentive effects of such a reward system to encourage better driving behaviours among bus drivers. This study collected fuel-efficiency data before and after the implementation of a reward system. Furthermore, to study the effects that the system had on driver behaviours, this study adopted the theory of Motivation–Opportunity–Ability (MOA) to construct the regression model. The results for the average fuel consumption efficiency for the buses before and after the reward system was introduced showed an improvement of more than 10% and thus a reduction in carbon emissions.
