A practical way to save fuel by driving an ordinary semi trailer

Good fuel saving effect, not only depends on the good technical condition of the vehicle, more importantly, is determined by how to drive. Science, skills, skilled mastery of driving skills, you can reduce fuel consumption about 30%. Practicing good driving habits, such as avoiding long idles, reducing loads and changing lanes less, can save about 20% in fuel costs a year. "The more stable the acceleration and deceleration, the better the fuel economy. The potential fuel savings for a semi-trailer on the highway can be up to 33 percent, and the savings on urban roads can be up to 5 percent." It is recommended that frequent lane changes should be avoided when stuck in traffic, because the two steps to complete rapid acceleration and sudden braking during this process will double fuel consumption. According to reports, in the case of low speed, only use the throttle to accelerate, accelerate 10 times, consumption of fuel more than 120 ml; Start 10 times, waste more than 120 ml of fuel; Empty pedal 10 times, waste fuel up to 60 ml. It's also worse to idle the engine, because when a rail-semi-trailer is parked with the engine still running, the vehicle consumes fuel, and doing so increases air pollution. If you are sure that your car will stop for more than 1 minute, Z will turn off the engine.

According to statistics, every two minutes when the engine stops running can save 0.9 yuan in fuel costs. In the daily maintenance of special vehicles, it is found that more than one quarter of the semi-trailer tires have the problem of insufficient inflation, which will increase the fuel efficiency loss of 2.8%, so giving the tires sufficient air is one of the ways to save fuel. In addition, heavy vehicles use more fuel to travel, using 1 to 2 percent more fuel for every 50 kilograms of cargo. It is recommended that the owner tidy up the trunk regularly, and do not let them add unnecessary burden to the beloved semi-trailer!

A practical way to save fuel by driving an ordinary semi trailer

First of all, adhere to meet the pressure of the tire. Tire pressure on the impact of fuel consumption, at least once a month to look at the tire, if the tire drop 10 pounds, fuel will be reduced by more than 3%.

Two, the semi trailer should not blast the empty oil before starting and extinguishing. Some drivers are used to blasting the oil before starting. In fact, this is more harmful than beneficial. It not only intensifies engine wear and environmental pollution, but also consumes 0.01 liter of fuel for each throttle.

3. Do not let the semi-trailer heat up and idle for a long time. The average trailer uses 8 liters per hour at idle, or 0.14 liters per minute, which is more than the amount of fuel used to restart the engine once.

4. Don't stop suddenly or accelerate violently. Before stopping should be planned in advance, do not want to stop on a foot brake, should try to use the inertia of the car to stop after sliding. A sharp acceleration uses up to a third more fuel than a uniform acceleration.

Five, do not stop and go and abuse the brake. Try to avoid traffic jams before driving, because stop-and-go uses up to 50 percent more fuel than normal driving. Driving should minimize braking, make full use of the engine and low gear of the restraining effect.

Vi. Semi-trailer parking for a long time, please close it. As others started waiting for their cars in the drive-thru lane, I turned off the engine and went to the restaurant to get coffee. On average, an engine idling for 15 minutes will burn nearly a litre of gas.

7. Drive at a moderate speed, not too fast or too slow. In order to prevent every intersection to meet the red light, to try to make the speed and the rhythm of the signal light change synchronization, in order to avoid the red light and stop.

Eight, driving to choose the correct road surface, do not rush. According to the test shows: driving on uneven road than in good road driving on 20%-30% more fuel consumption. Uphill do not drag, do not accelerate, downhill in the case of ensuring safety, as far as possible to use the slide, but not flameout.

Nine, less short distance car. Short-haul cars can't get the best out of the engine. If you can combine many times into one, not only can play its work efficiency, but also can reduce the wear and tear of the vehicle, effectively save oil.

10. Plan long trips and don't travel blindly. First of all, we should be familiar with the route to prevent the east to find the west to waste oil; Secondly, go to bed early and get up early to avoid the traffic congestion peak; Again, try to use less air conditioning. If possible, avoid rain, fog, snow and other bad weather. Driving upwind uses about 10% more fuel.

Eleven, semi trailer adhere to the Z fast speed. On the highway, some owners go 120 km/h, I insist on 110 km/h. On your daily commute, going more than 10 kilometers won't cut distance, but it will improve your highway fuel economy.

12, choose economic speed, do not blindly pursue fast. Take Santana as an example, driving at 60 kilometers per hour on a straight road can save fuel; if driving at 30 kilometers per hour, it will consume 7 percent to 8 percent more fuel; if driving at 80 kilometers per hour, it will consume 9 percent to 13 percent more fuel.

Thirteen, semi-trailer brake to reduce fuel. "On city roads, I opt for steep acceleration, and many property owners make many of the mistakes we see on the road: every traffic light is on the accelerator, only to hit the front of the vehicle with a quick emergency brake. That doesn't get you home any faster, and the steep controls improve fuel economy by about 20 percent.

14. Don't bring unnecessary things. Weight is the biggest enemy of fuel consumption. Fuel consumption increases by about 1% for every 50kg of extra weight.

15. Cruise with fixed speed semi-trailer. I try to stick to uniform control, while some owners' control speed is choppy. Quasi-cruise control uses constant speed and persistence whenever possible, so that continuous acceleration and deceleration are more economical.
