Trucks can be Eco-Friendly
Now is a great time to consider auto recycling of junk cars since available in Mayfield Heights, Lake County, and South Euclid. There is no good reason to wait to proceed with auto scrap in Cleveland Heights, Wickliffe, or Brecksville, OH. In case you were not aware that we pick up vehicles in Bainbridge, East Cleveland, and Chesterland when we buy used cars for scrap. My eco-friendly ideas come and go; however, in Seven Hills, Northfield, and Cuyahoga Heights, our buy my junk car program continues.
In the November 28, 2016 edition of Fleet Owner, Michael Roeth posted a story titled ‘Trucking can learn from the auto industry’ with the following details: “Two recent studies found that passenger autos improved fuel economy to 24.8 mpg while also surpassing greenhouse gas emissions standards. If they can get it done, so can the trucking industry. There is no secret involved in what auto manufacturers did to get this outcome. They make changes such as smaller engines, reduced overall vehicle weight, use of turbochargers, focused more on aerodynamics, and improve transmission efficiency. And these are possible within the trucking industry.
The fleets in our Fleet Fuel Study had already begun investments in several of these technologies. They averaged 7.06 mpg, in 2015 a 3% improvement over 2014. The average for U.S. fleets is approximately 5.83 mpg. Consumers understand the critical nature of reducing the carbon footprint & appreciate the assistance of more MPG even with today’s lower fuel prices. In fact 2015 set a record for vehicle sales in the U.S. Car owners are not retaining onto their cars to dodge the cost of these new more environmentally sound vehicles since they understand the advantage of the fuel economy gains.
Truck owners can make the same transition but not all of them are. Often, they don’t trust the data they see and they are not sure about the return for investment in fuel saving technologies. Many of the advancements in the market today to boost fuel efficiency & reduce greenhouse gases afford viable payback periods. There is real interest in seeing trucks getting to the 12-miles-per-gallon range but we also know that this needs to be done at a low cost.” The complete story is available here.
