The fuel saving of flatbed transport vehicles starts with driving habits

Domestic fuel prices continue to rise, and fuel expenditure is an increasing proportion of the freight industry's operating costs。Therefore, the training of the driver's fuel-saving operation technology is realizedFlatbed carrier节油Beneficial way of effect。

 Fuel saving starts with engine speed

 In good driving habits, one of the most important data is the economic speed of the engine, and all operations should be centered around this value。Each brand of flat transport vehicle, its design is different, so the driver should be driven according to the structural characteristics of each flat transport vehicle, if it is still driven according to the old driving habits, it is bound to increase fuel consumption, and the engine life will be shortened。It can be seen that in addition to the performance of the car itself, which plays a decisive role in fuel saving, the driver's driving habits are also important。If the speed and engine speed are controlled within the economic range, not only the power output of the vehicle is strong, but also the economic fuel consumption can be obtained。For example, when going uphill, some drivers are used to stepping on the accelerator to the end, the speed is increased to more than 2800 RPM, it sounds like the engine is very 'strong', in fact, the climbing force of the vehicle is reduced, but the fuel consumption will be doubled。If the engine speed is controlled within the economic speed zone, greater climbing force can be obtained。This is the root cause for some drivers to reflect that some cars have no climbing strength and high fuel consumption on ramps。In addition, when the engine speed exceeds the economic speed zone, the best shift point must be selected。Under the premise of adapting to traffic conditions, driving at a constant speed as safely as possible, accelerating or slowing down repeatedly, fuel consumption will be significantly improved。

 Good habits extend engine life

 Even if you own a very expensive heavy flatbed carrier, it is not easy to rest easy。These famous brands are indeed very good, the market feedback is also very good, but it does not mean that good cars are fuel saving, longevity, really want to save fuel and save money and safety, in addition to having a good car, the driver's own correct driving habits are essential。Because the correct driving habits can not only directly reduce fuel consumption, but more importantly, it can also play a good protective effect on the engine, so that the life of the engine can be extended。In the long run, this saves the driver a lot of maintenance costs。First of all, do not let the engine run at full throttle, high torque speed (high torque speed is listed on the engine nameplate) for more than 30 seconds, otherwise it will shorten the overhaul interval of the engine, causing serious damage to the engine, and this situation will be considered improper use of the engine in maintenance。Secondly, in any case, the high speed of the engine must not exceed 2850 RPM, which will cause serious damage to the engine。When going down a steep hill, use a combination of transmission and engine brake or service brake to control speed and engine speed。Again, if the engine is overheating, the power output of the engine should be reduced by releasing the accelerator pedal or changing the transmission to a low gear, or both, until the temperature returns to the normal operating range。If the engine temperature cannot be restored to the normal operating range, the engine should be turned off to find the cause of overheating。After that, the winter insulation front cover can be used on the vehicle equipped with the intercooler, but it must be designed to partially cover the front area of the cooling system。In order for the air-to-air intercooler to work properly, at least 387 square centimeters of opening should be left in the front area to allow air flow through。

 Vehicle maintenance is critical

 The right driving habits and a good brandFlatbed carrierIs such a combination necessarily able to obtain satisfactory fuel-saving effects?In fact, there is also a link that cannot be ignored, that is, the maintenance of vehicles。Water, oil, antifreeze should be regularly checked and supplemented, and different grades of oil should be replaced according to the season。Three filters should be regularly checked and replaced。All of this routine maintenance is indispensable。

 Some drivers reflect that their car is very strong when it is just opened, but it cannot be opened, so replace the air filter element。It works for a while, but after a while, it doesn't work。In fact, this is a common problem, most of them are driving on national roads and below grade roads, and the dust in the working environment of the vehicle is large, shortening the service life of the filter element。In addition, many users have some misunderstandings in maintenance。In order to reduce maintenance costs, users generally do not use the original air filter element, the poor quality filter paper used by users, and the short life of the filter element (according to the test, the ash storage capacity of the inferior filter element is only 1712.9 g), and even an alarm has been reported when the new filter is 500 kilometers away。Although some users regularly replace the filter element, they generally replace the filter element once a month, and do not carry out regular maintenance of the filter element。In this case, it is easy to have the problem of large intake resistance of the intake system and insufficient engine power。Therefore, the maintenance car is not only to replace the original air filter element, but also to regularly maintain the air filter element, so as to truly ensure the smooth and safe driving。
