Improving Fuel Efficiency for Diesel Fleets

Don't Idle

Idling uses roughly half a gallon of fuel per hour. Turn off the engine whenever possible.

Accelerate Evenly

Fast and sudden acceleration burns more fuel. Speed up gently and at a lower RPM for better fuel economy.

Cruise

Lowering highway speeds and using cruise control can reduce fuel use.

Optimal Loading

Overloading can reduce fuel efficiency and cause wear and tear. Load to the optimal weight capacity.

Pre-trip Inspections

Inspecting tires, cargo, engines, and other parts is critical to fleet maintenance and fuel efficiency.
