Stage 1 remapping in Kingswinford
On three 2021 Census measures of car use, Kingswinford sits ahead of the Dudley council area as a whole. In the Kingswinford built-up area, 62.5% of working residents drove to work, against 59% council-wide; 44.8% of households had two or more cars, against 38.8%; and just 15.1% had none, against 20.5%. In a household with more than one vehicle, one of them often takes on the towing and the heavier loads, which is the work Stage 1 remapping helps with most: more torque from low revs, so a trailer pulls away with less effort. No hardware is added. The remap changes the engine's settings in software, within its limits.
