A 12% reduction in diesel consumption has been achieved.

The following case study is based on a European fleet conversion. Currency is in EURO.

Fleet Size: 260 SPMTs
2 Vehicle types: 80% Mercedes 350 kW 20% MTU 390 kW
Fuel Consumption: 65 litres/operating hour @ 250 kW
FS Unit Configuration: 250kW – 300kW average engine power
Fuel Consumption per unit/year: @ 350 hours x 65 litres = 22,750 litres per unit
Fuel Consumption for the fleet: 22,750 x 260 = 5.9 million litre/year
Fuel Price: 1 Euro per liter
Total fuel costs: 5.9million EURO
NET OPEX SAVING @10% = 590,000 EURO/year

The European data has been converted to Australian conditions with allowances for exchange rate and freight. The table below is for illustration purposes only.

FS REGAINER+ ENERGY RECUPERATION FROM EXHAUST PRESSURE generates electricity from previously unused exhaust pressure in non-load or partial load phases, thus relieving the alternator, which leads to reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions.

FS PERFORMANCE + ECU TUNING SOFTWARE OPTIMISATION optimizes the vehicle software for its specific daily operation & interaction with new hardware. As a result, we achieve improved performance, control & handling, while reducing fuel consumption.

FS ADDITIV+ A NANO TECHNOLOGY FUEL ADDITIVE reduces the friction in the engine compartment, optimizes the combustion efficiency and frees the combustion chamber continuously from soot deposits. Wear & tear, emissions and fuel consumption are reduced.

FS MONITORING+ PERFORMANCE AND FUEL TANK REAL TIME MONITORING an ultrasound-based alarm solution for monitoring the fuel tank to prevent fuel theft in combination with the provision of vehicle & fleet data in real time (speed, fuel consumption, etc.).

FS INTAKE+ AIR INTAKE OPTIMISATION optimized air intake which reduces air blockages delivering more oxygen to the engine for a better & cleaner combustion that reduces fuel consumption.

FS ADAPTOR+ MOBILE e-CHARGING STATION electricity supply system for charging e-cars, network operators, etc. from the excess electricity generated by FS REGAINER+

FS AERO+ LOW WEIGHT RIMS & LOW FRICTION TIRES & OIL a selection of low-friction wheels, low rolling resistance tires and low-viscosity oils for reduced fuel consumption through less friction.
