Minimizing Your Environmental Impact and Fuel Costs with Volvo FH Fuel Efficiency
Unparalleled Fuel Efficiency
As one of the top truck manufacturers in the world, Volvo has provided the logistics industry with cost-effective solutions that are made for maximum uptime while lowering its environmental impact. Guided by these values, Volvo has engineered the Volvo FH Fuel Efficiency system to provide unparalleled fuel economy.
Volvo has equipped its units with cylinder liners and scrapper rings to lessen the friction generated. Each Volvo diesel engine now has an enhanced turbocharger to help you meet your fuel target.
Additionally, Volvo has also integrated an engine management system into your vehicle to give your operations the insight it needs to improve your profit margins. This system also comes with Fuel Advice, which is a personal fuel coach for your drivers. With all of these instruments at your company’s disposal, you’ll surely improve your fuel savings in no time.
Controlled Cruising Speed
Aside from the multiple fuel saving systems we’ve mentioned above, Volvo also has an intelligent cruise control to optimize your speed for the road ahead.
I-Cruise automatically adjusts your vehicle’s speed to keep fuel consumption low while allowing your operators to maintain a higher average speed. The I-Cruise allows your operators to improve their driving performance without compromising their safety or comfort.
How exactly does I-Cruise execute this? Simple. I-Cruise analyzes your transport routes and optimizes your vehicle’s system to save fuel. This cruise control system makes use of the terrain conditions and topography to manage speed and gear changes, leading to a much more fuel-efficient vehicle.
Improved Maneuverability
The improved maneuverability of each Volvo Truck is made possible with the torque assist system. This system provides your drivers with enough torque to maintain their speed. It also adds a controlled torque delta to maximize your vehicle’s acceleration capacity, even when it’s moving uphill.
Overall, the powerful torque output combined with the smart sensors that detect your delivery route’s topography, has made every Volvo Truck a powerful but fuel-economic force on the road no matter the driving condition.
Optimized Tires
Now, an often overlooked component of delivery trucks is their tires. Little do operators know that using the right tires with the correct pressure and axle-aligned can lead to significant savings on your vehicle’s fuel consumption.
The best part about optimizing your tires is that they can easily be inserted into your process. For example, having your wheels and axle aligned can be done on the same day as when you get your truck serviced, and having your tire pressure adjusted can be executed when your operators are getting gas. Virtually, this step takes minimal effort but it can have huge effects on your operations.
