The ECO-Revolution

It is not in question that we are responsible for the fuel that we burn. This affects not only the environment, but also has a significant impact on the global economy. In today’s climate, there is great pressure on all types companies that are involved in haulage, to reduce their carbon footprint. So what incentives does a business have to implement this technology?

Simply put, Fuelsaver makes it possible  to reduce the carbon footprint on every single journey whilst at the same time making significant cost savings through the reduction in fuel consumption. Are these not incentives enough?

The fact is that fitting Fuelsaver to vehicles will reduce fuel use and thus cost typically between 14.5-18% - saving money whilst reducing CO2 emissions. Whilst this may sound too good to be true, the technology has already been put into practice and is delivering these benefits.

How Fuelsaver Works

So how exactly does this technology work? All modern vehicles use sophisticated electronic control units, or ECU’s that manage every aspect of the operation of the vehicle. The ECU that is controlling the engine determines the conditions the vehicle is under at the time and then attempts to control the various aspects of the internal combustion process.

One of the conditions that is taken into account is the weather. Is the outside temperature warm or cold? Other factors that are taken into account are the current load of the vehicle, the driver style, the vehicle's altitude and the quality of fuel being used. In taking into consideration these variables, the ECU is trying to optimize the engine’s efficiency based on a set of calculations.

This optimization is however often a compromise; where the manufacturer is balancing the needs of the world market they are supplying against the varying factors the vehicle may encounter.

Our programming of the ECU  provides a better optimization of the engine and fuel usage for the UK. In addition, the reprogramming can include specific characteristics to ensure a lowering of the CO2 produced by the vehicle.

Having the vehicle's ECU re-programmed can change all the parameters from compromise to optimize, ultimately giving better fuel consumption, more useable torque, lower CO2 levels and very importantly, lower fuel bills.
