The fuel efficiency of the transportation sector has become a key factor to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fuel consumption in response to the negative impacts of global warming. As an approach to energy saving and environmental sustainability, eco-driving has attracted considerable research interest in the past decades. This review aims to provide a comprehensive review of the research on eco-driving using methodologies of literature bibliometrics and content analysis through VOSviewer software. The following keywords “ecological-driving”, “ecological-routing”, “ecological-bus”, “ecological-car”, “ecological-vehicle”, “eco-driving”, “eco-routing”, “eco-driver”, “eco-bus”, “eco-car” and “eco-vehicle” are used for paper retrieval. The query was conducted on January 20, 2021. The results take account of all journal articles, proceedings papers, and reviews without time limitation. Finally, a total of 767 documents were retrieved as total publications, which were viewed over the period 2001–2020 based on the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection database. The publication year, leading countries, leading sources, leading institutions, leading authors, document citation, and document co-citation were analyzed to explore the primary trends. The In-depth analysis reveals five clusters of keywords, and the review of relevant studies on eco-driving from five different perspectives is carried out to identify potential trends and future research hot spots of eco-driving.
