There are so many ways to save fuel

1. Choose your vehicle

When many people buy a truck, they choose the brand first, and then the chassis configuration, but many of them ignore one thing: what they mainly transport and the conditions of their transportation. Choosing a truck is not a random choice. Do you know how to choose a truck to maximize your transportation benefits?

At present, the driving forms of common road transport vehicles on the market are 4×2, 6×2, 6×4 and 8×4. The number in front of the "×" indicates the total number of vehicle wheels, and the number after the "×" indicates the number of driving wheels. Dividing the two numbers by 2 is the number of axles of the car and the axles of the drive axle. For example, 8×4 means that the car has a total of 4 axles, two of which are the drive axles.

The form of drive determines to a certain extent which goods can be transported. The 4×2 model is basically for short-distance logistics transportation and green transportation. 6×2 models are mainly used by retail customers or logistics companies for distribution. The 6×4 model is inclined to heavy-duty transportation and is suitable for more complicated road conditions. 8×4 is more common in the field of urban construction and transportation.

When purchasing a vehicle, you need to know your transportation needs from the very beginning, so as to maximize your own interests and reduce fuel consumption.

2. While driving

• -Warm up while driving

When the weather is cold, many car enthusiasts will "warm up" the vehicle, but the warm-up time is too long, which not only wastes time, consumes fuel, but also damages the engine.

-Driving at a constant speed

Truck drivers should have had such an experience. Every time they step on the brakes and then step on the accelerator to accelerate, the fuel consumption will be much higher than usual. Therefore, in comparison, driving at a constant speed is the most fuel-efficient state.

At the same time, at the moment of giving oil after braking, try to slow down and give oil in low gear. Remember not to slam on the accelerator, otherwise it will increase the fuel consumption.

• -Close the windows at high speed

In order to reduce fuel consumption when driving at high speed, many car enthusiasts often choose to open the windows instead of turning on the air conditioner. In fact, this is the wrong approach. Because when the vehicle speed is around 80km/h, opening the windows means increasing air resistance and higher fuel consumption.

• -Find the economic speed

There is a direct relationship between the engine speed and fuel consumption. Each engine has its economical speed. If it is too low or high, it may lead to an increase in fuel consumption. When driving, try to run at different speeds to find a suitable economical speed of the engine.

3.Maintenance

• -Check the three filters in time

Air filter, fuel filter and oil filter, collectively known as the three filters, in addition to the role of filtration and cleaning, but also related to the engine's power output performance, engine durability and fuel consumption rate.

If the three filters are aging, dirty, it will block the oil circuit, resulting in reduced engine power, thus increasing fuel consumption. So usually do a good job of maintenance, regular replacement of the three filters.

• -Timely check the air pressure

Insufficient tire pressure will increase the friction between the tires and the ground, thus leading to an increase in fuel consumption, so truckers should check the tire pressure regularly. In addition, when the tires are badly worn, the phenomenon of slippage will occur, which will also lead to an increase in fuel consumption.

If the economic conditions allow, you can add a tire pressure monitoring system, at any time to grasp the specific data of tire pressure, and make timely predictions.

Now most of the front part of the vehicle, with deflectors and ventilation slots, which also has a certain role in reducing wind resistance.
