Nowadays, cars are basically a necessary means of transportation for every family. The use of refrigerated trucks in the logistics and transportation industry is also increasing. Although there are many refrigerated trucks, there are very few people who know how to maintain them, and even fewer know how to save fuel. Good driving habits and control of refrigerated trucks are the most important factors. Every movement we should control our cars naturally and smoothly and we should make sure the acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle are smoothly connected, as well as the starting and stopping movements accurate and skillful, these ways play an important role in fuel saving. However, in order to reduce fuel consumption during the use of the refrigerated trucks, you'd better know another 4 tips.
1. Maintain the optimal speed. It consumes the most fuel when accelerating. The more stable the refrigerated truck is, the fewer the number of brakes and the fewer the number of accelerations, which will inevitably save fuel. In addition, if the driver depresses the accelerator, the fuel consumption may reach twice the usual. The lowest economic driving speed is usually 50 to 60 km/h.
2. Avoid idling. When the engine is idling, diesel is also consumed. When the engine reaches about 2000 to 3000 revolutions per minute (the speed of different models is slightly different), the high gear should be changed in time. If you are at an intersection with a particularly long red light, or if your companion gets off the car, you need to wait. At this time, you'd better turn off the engine of the refrigerated truck and try to avoid the engine idling. The fuel consumption of the engine idling for 3 minutes can let the car Drive 1 kilometer.
3. Pay attention to reducing the burden on refrigerated trucks. Excess things, whether it's a pair of sneakers or a half tank of oil, will increase the load on the car. The vehicle is loaded with 45 kilograms more, and the fuel efficiency is 2% lower than that of a light vehicle. Don't put anything on the roof of the car. A piece of luggage or a roof rack full of things causes wind resistance and will reduce fuel mileage by 5%. If possible, put things in the car.
4. Close the windows when driving on the highway. After the vehicle speed exceeds 75 km/h, in order to overcome air resistance, the fuel consumption of refrigerated vehicles will be 1.5 times that of economic driving speed. Open windows will have a negative impact on fuel consumption. In other words, turning on the air conditioner may save fuel than opening the windows.
