La législation environnementale n'a pas à augmenter le coût total de possession (TCO) des flottes
Chaque fois qu'une nouvelle législation sur les gaz à effet de serre (GES) entre en vigueur, l'industrie se prépare aux augmentations de prix imminentes associées aux camions conformes.
However, with the right truck specification strategy, fleets can neutralize increased truck prices. They do this by equipping them with technology that delivers significant savings to the bottom line.
Take tires as an example. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently issued off-cycle GHG credit for the Gonfleur de pneu Halo. This move allows OEMs to receive credit for installing EPA compliant technology. Technology that many of their clients already specify for the fuel, tire life, and uptime benefits.
ApériaGonfleur de pneu Halopermet une installation rapide sur les flottes de véhicules neufs et existants. Avec plus de cinquante milliards de miles accumulés sur diverses applications et itinéraires de véhicules utilitaires, la technologie a fait ses preuves pour durer toute la vie du camion. Déjà, 10 % des tracteurs neufs sont équipés de systèmes de gonflage automatique des pneus Halo (ATIS). Ce nombre augmentera en raison de la législation mise à jour.
Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) technology is another approved by the EPA for GHG credit. In theory, a device letting the driver know when a tire is low is valuable. However, the noise created by the technology is often difficult to manage. As a result, fleets often do not see the expected ROI from the technology.
Data was collected from 10,974 tires analyzed over a 12-month period and 2.4 billion miles. This data highlights the improved performance of vehicles equipped with Halo automatic tire inflation systems (ATIS) on drive tires only over tire pressure monitoring systems.
TPMS-equipped truck tires averaged 6.9 psi lower than vehicles equipped with Halo automatic tire inflation systems on drive tires only. This study spanned all seasons and application profiles and shows that Halo-equipped tires maintain cold inflation pressure (CIP) within 1.3% across the year. Trucks equipped with best-of-class TPMS fail to incentivize timely and frequent enough operator response time to optimize tire pressure.
Consider the features and benefits of EPA compliant technologies when specifying your next truck. Select those that réduire les émissions and deliver a strong return on investment, like Halo.
