Providing customers with specific, personalized solutions to meet their needs is exactly what Volvo Trucks strives to achieve. The production of trucks and tractors occurs in accordance with the requests of each customer separately.
Every motorist is interested in how fuel is consumed based on various specifications. The level of fuel consumption varies significantly depending on the choice of vehicle configuration.
Volvo specialists carried out calculations regarding the truck and its fuel consumption, taking into account various nuances and details. This has helped them achieve great success in saving energy. Customers need to take into account that the personal specifics of the product must be indicated before ordering, since after ordering, it will be very difficult or impossible to change the technical data of the car. You should choose a car based on its purpose, that is, what it is supposed to transport. Then you will be able to choose the most economical option.
Adviсe
When choosing equipment, you need to take into account the conditions in which it will have to work, how long the use will last, at what speed, on what roads, with what load. These are very important questions to answer before ordering.
Transmission
The company generates preferred options based on order data. These options will indicate which transmission is preferable: automatic or manual. Most often, customers and manufacturers choose an automatic transmission, as it allows you to change gears more accurately and at the right moments, which allows you to save even more fuel.
Volvo provides many different software options based on your specific operating conditions. Individually selected software allows you to shift gears more efficiently depending on the terrain. You can reflash the software if you suddenly decide to change the area at any service station. Volvo does not encourage universal specifications. Significant fuel savings can be achieved by changing specifications, which is also offered by Volvo.Noticeable savings were repeatedly noticed during operation. Choosing a suitable specification on your own is usually very difficult. The problem is caused by various improvements that lead to changes in the characteristics of the operational and expenditure plan.
Key points in choosing specifications
- Features of the road on the route of transport. For example, weather conditions, the terrain of the path, its length, and so on.
- Selecting the characteristics of the cargo: weight, type, etc.
- The personal preferences of the customer, advice from engineers and other Volvo employees play an important role.
- The customer should provide as much information as possible about the product requirements. The more characteristics the manufacturer knows, the more optimal the resulting truck will be.
Cost factors
To maximize your savings, you must also enter information about the specifics of your VEB engine brake. The selection of the final drive is related to the height of the tires, so the tires must be selected correctly right away. Replacing the main gear if the wrong choice will cost a lot of money later. The ground clearance depends on the tire diameter: the smaller the diameter, the lower the clearance; also, as the tire diameter decreases, the useful volume of the semi-trailer increases. You’ll have to choose what you need specifically.
Choosing tires is also an important part of creating the best vehicle for you.
Operations that can reduce fuel costs
- When the compressor is turned off, the noise in the cabin is reduced and its service life is also increased.
- The recirculation mode in the air conditioner will also reduce fuel consumption when the compressor is turned off.
- Using the predictive braking and acceleration function.
These features individually bring only minor fuel savings in transport, but overall they provide a significant advantage to the customer.
Thus, detailed information about transport, characteristics of operating conditions, load on the truck allows you to reduce fuel costs on the way, as well as reduce the driver’s costs during further use.
