The company operates approximately thirty trucks for heavy and extremely heavy road haulage, and in long-distance transport operations. Using XBEE technology, they have been able to reduce diesel oil consumption by up to 10 litres per 100 km; which represents savings up to 9%.
In addition to the successful internal evaluation with XBEE, it was important for the transport company Kübler to carry out another test, on a bench. A MAN TGX18.480 was selected and submitted to a performance and consumption test before treatment. After several months using XBEE fuel, a second test was performed to compare the specific fuel oil consumption (SFOC) in g/kWh.
Regular Diesel:
The initial measurement took place on April 13, 2017, giving a SFOC record over the entire speed range at 231 g/kWh.
XBEE Diesel:
The final measurement took place on November 30, 2017, with an average SFOC at 216 g/kWh recorded over seven different loads.
Final result shows a 6% reduction of the fuel consumption thanks to the XBEE enzymes. On the other hand, this complies with the reduction of CO2 by 6%. The investment in the environmental friendly technology costs as little as 0.7%. However, the trucks reduce their energy footprint within a few weeks only. Moreover, engines stay clean and their shelf life is increased.
As a conclusion, Kübler Spedition reduced its Diesel cost by a net 5.3%, and preserved the environment by reducing its exhaust emissions.
Our many years of experience with XBEE have enabled us to achieve a noticeable reduction in fuel consumption.
