Volvo has launched a website with fuel saving tips for trucks.
The website is called “everydropcounts” and can be accessed at http://everydropcounts.volvotrucks.com/pages/en_gb/default.aspx. It gives overviews of the different technologies available to reduce fuel consumption and the approximate savings that can be achieved. For example, Volvo has found that the right tyres, properly inflated, on correctly aligned wheels and axles, can result in fuel savings of up to 14%.
