How to optimize fuel consumption?

Hello friends!

How are they? In my post today I would like to talk about a note that I found about new developments to save fuel in your truck. Volvo Trucks It has launched a program that seeks to improve the use of vehicles at the same time that wear is reduced and fuel savings are achieved.

What is Fuel Advice? It is a Volvo service in which an expert instructor on the subject, from the analysis of the driving technique will indicate the areas in which the driving can be improved and from there to achieve important savings. This initiative would help reduce fuel consumption by up to 5%. If one considers the advice and professional orientation, he will be able to achieve sustainable savings year after year.

A fleet management report is made that takes into account the distance traveled, the time of use, the average driving consumption in a given period, and analyzes the total idle, with the aim of reducing this time to the maximum possible.

The low conduction consumption (the mode that is activated when the vehicle exceeds 10 km/hyy begins to load consumption data), the time of use of the idle (observing that it is not excessive and consume fuel of more), the use of the cruise control (what percentage of fuel consumption is made in this mode, which well used does not have to consume more) and the free march (it is a system to save fuel that disconnects the box that disconnects the box that disconnects the box when inertia of the vehicle exceeds wheel drive) are the aspects that are analyzed in depth.

With Fuel Advice and together with the tools and investigations carried out by Volvo, they also add a “personal coach” that to each fleet makes the necessary modifications to achieve sustainable fuel savings, making the entire operation more profitable.

In addition, truckers will receive tips in their emails that will allow better operational decisions in daily work. Fuel Advice has access to Toolbox, a resource that helps to have sustainable savings. This tool includes guides to motivate drivers, tips to achieve their goals and help you share the results. It also includes research on the latest fuel savings techniques.
