Financial and Environmental BenefitsThere is a moral and ever increasingly legal responsibility for individuals and corporate entities to reduce their carbon footprints to conserve finite resources and to minimise global warming. This also makes good economic sense.
Extensive trials and tests have shown that OptyBoost-TEC will reduce carbon emissions from vehicles by up to 16%. The minimum reduction in emissions achieved has been a highly significant 5% with an associated average reduction in fuel consumption of 5%.
Such reductions on a fleet of 100 HGV's will result in a significantly reduced carbon footprint helping government targets to be met. A 5% reduction in fuel cost would also make a major contribution to profitability.
No modification to the engine is required and the treatment, which takes about 10 minutes in total is easily incorporated into the routine service schedule.
A HGV vehicle that normally returns 7mpg would consume 6,600 litres of fuel over 10,000 miles at a cost of about £5,300 (£0.80/litre). A 5% reduction in fuel consumption would save £265. Many HGV's cover this distance between scheduled 6 weekly services giving a yearly saving of over £2000. For a fleet of 100 vehicles this would reduce operating costs by over £200k per annum.
