With the fuel price increases of the 2000s, the EPA and many companies like The Real trucking have sought to increase diesel truck fuel economy. One such example is the hydraulic hybrid vehicle, which stores energy in hydraulic tanks and hydraulic motors (as opposed to the electric hybrid vehicle which uses batteries and regenerative brakes), electric hybrid vehicles are another option. Curbing driver speed is the most widely recognized behavioral change that can save fuel.
On average, a truck traveling at 65 mph instead of 75 mph will experience up to 27-percent improvement in fuel consumption. But there is another problem - with these restrictions, some trucks traveling at 55 mph may not be able to get their loads to their destinations on time.
In an era of more intelligent and connected vehicles, the Real trucking technology for better fuel economy now includes wireless sensors, GPS chips, algorithms, and sophisticated real-time data analysis. At current diesel fuel prices, each one-percent fuel economy improvement saves about $900 per truck annually.
So, between the worst truck and the best, the difference in fuel economy can reach 25 percent. The Real trucking propose you the best trucks and the best drivers that will save your money and your time.
