What is ECO Tuning?

ECO Tuning is one type of remapping that has a lot of fans among HGV and truck owners. But what exactly is ECO Tuning and why does it have so many fans?
What exactly is ECO Tuning?
You are probably familiar with various types of remapping and have read about them in our articles; There is performance tuning, which aims to improve a vehicle's performance and increase power and torque, as well as solutions that focus on removing systems like DPF or EGR from the engine. But ECO Tuning is a different approach whose main objective is to reduce a vehicle's fuel consumption without a noticeable loss of power.
But besides reducing fuel consumption, there are other goals in ECO Tuning, including not wanting owners to sacrifice torque or power in their vehicles. Therefore, it is necessary for this fuel reduction to be achieved without compromising the vehicle's performance. The point we want to make to you is that it is indeed possible! In a proper ECO Tuning, not only will the vehicle's performance not decrease, but it will also improve! But can such a thing really be possible?
How is ECO Tuning performed?
The secret to a proper ECO Tuning that involves increasing a vehicle's efficiency while reducing fuel consumption lies in the tuner's expertise. If your tuner is familiar with your vehicle's engine and has sufficient knowledge of its ECU, they will be able to do this job properly. In general, simply put, the process works by adjusting the fuel injection in certain areas of the ECU maps where the vehicle requires more or less fuel. More fuel is injected to areas where the vehicle needs richer fuel mixtures, and less fuel is injected to areas that require less fuel, using various methods. This way, fuel is burned efficiently in the engine's RPM range and different driving conditions, leading to lower emissions and improved performance.

ECO Tuning for trucks:
If you have understood the gist of the article well, you probably have guessed why many HGV owners and truck drivers are interested in ECO Tuning. Many of these individuals spend a considerable amount of time with their vehicles, so it is natural for them to want to minimize their fuel consumption and maximize efficiency. And this is exactly what happens in ECO Tuning.
The differences between ECO Tuning and stage tuning?
Perhaps ECO Tuning can only be compared with stage 1 remapping because the goal is clearer in stage 2 and 3 remapping: more power and speed at any cost! For this reason, stage 2 and 3 remapping cannot be compared with ECO Tuning.
However, regarding the differences between stage 1 remapping and ECO Tuning, it can be said that in stage 1 remapping, there is a high likelihood that fuel consumption may increase slightly from the normal state. Of course, there are exceptions where even in stage 1 remapping, fuel consumption decreases or even increases noticeably, but generally, there is a relatively reasonable increase in consumption in stage 1. Alongside this, the performance improvement in stage 1 is noticeable; more noticeable than in ECO Tuning.
So, in summary, it can be said that stage 1 remapping compared to ECO Tuning increases fuel consumption but also provides greater performance improvement.

FAQs:
Can stage tuning and ECO Tuning be done simultaneously?
No, absolutely not! Based on the explanations provided, it is not possible to perform these two modes together.
Can ECO Tuning and solutions be used simultaneously?
Yes, definitely! For example, you can delete the AdBlue and also perform ECO Tuning. Performing ECO Tuning along with many solutions is a natural and common practice.
What is the price for performing ECO Tuning and solutions simultaneously?
For this task, you need to pay for ECO Tuning and the desired solutions separately.
