The internal losses of the engine and the energy losses of the transmission system add up to an energy loss of almost 85%. A large part of the loss is caused by the friction of mechanical parts. Therefore, using good lubricants and doing a little maintenance are of great significance to the fuel consumption of Liangshan car transport vehicles. Semi-trailers should use as much butter as possible, so that the sliding distance of the vehicle can be increased by at least 20%, and the fuel consumption saving will be at least about 10%.
There are several factors that generally affect fuel consumption: engine size, road conditions, driving habits, load, climbing, air conditioning, tire pressure, excess oil, wind speed, etc.
1. Insist on satisfying tire pressure
Regarding the impact of tire pressure on fuel consumption, check the tires at least once a month. If the tire pressure is 10 pounds, the fuel efficiency will drop by more than 3%.
2. Please turn off the engine when the semi-trailer is parked for a long time.
While others suggested waiting in the car restaurant driveway, I turned off the engine and went to the restaurant to buy coffee. Generally speaking, idling the engine for 15 minutes will consume nearly 1 liter of gasoline.
3. Semi-trailers maintain speed
On the highway, some car owners drive at a speed of 120 km/h, but I insist on 110 km/h. In daily commuting, a speed difference of more than ten kilometers per hour will not shorten the journey time, but it can improve your fuel economy on the highway.
4. For semi-trailers, press the brakes less and refuel slowly.
“On urban roads, I choose to accelerate steeply, but many car owners make a mistake we often see on the road: slam on the accelerator at every traffic light, and only brake suddenly when they are about to hit the Liangshan sedan in front. Driving like this won't get you home quickly, and driving uphill can improve fuel economy by about 20%."
5. Semi-trailers make use of cruise control
Try to maintain a constant speed while driving, but some car owners' driving speed fluctuates greatly. Try to use cruise control as much as possible and maintain a constant speed. It is much more economical to accelerate and decelerate constantly.
6. The impact of excessive load on fuel consumption
In order to make a single trip bring big profits, some semi-trailer drivers use on-board transportation. Let’s not talk about the fines for carrying goods. The service life of Liangshan car carriers has been shortened, the risk factor has increased, the freight price has dropped, and the reliability of Liangshan car carriers has declined. From the perspective of fuel consumption and tire wear alone, it is not necessarily the case that high-speed transportation is It can bring more benefits to truck drivers. Pay attention to the above points, so that you can not only save fuel when driving a semi-trailer, but also become more relaxed during the driving process.
