Google Maps eco-friendly routing is turning tiny detours into major emissions cuts
Google Maps’ eco-friendly routing has prevented more than 2.4 million metric tons of CO2e since 2021—roughly like parking 500,000 gas cars for a year. The AI-powered feature recommends fuel-saving routes with similar arrival times and now supports cars, EVs, motorcycles, and two-wheelers in select countries. It’s a quiet nudge at massive scale, with city signal timing upgrades pushing the gains even further.
