Kiwi Device Makes Driving Green Easier
Sunnyvale CA based automotive devices company PLX Devices has created the PLX Kiwi. A variation on their multifunction gauges, it has an embedded algorithm that calculates mileage and suggests how to drive to maximize fuel economy. The kiwi score keeps track of efficiently you drive.
The Kiwi is a simple to use plug and play device compatible with all 1996 vehicles and up. Kiwi plugs into your existing on board diagnostic port (OBDII), located near your steering column. From this port, Kiwi is able to obtain detailed sensor information about your vehicle. A multitude of sensor data including vehicle speed, RPM, engine load, oxygen sensor readings are all analyzed to determine your vehicle’s optimum driving efficiency.
Kiwi operates much like a game. As you drive, your daily goal is to obtain the highest “Kiwi Score†possible. In doing so, your driving style will be optimized for the highest MPG no matter what vehicle you drive.
