A very practical way to drive an ordinary semi-trailer to save fuel

Recently, the news of soaring oil prices has caused panic among card friends. Oil prices in many places have risen to 7 yuan per liter, and some remote areas have even exceeded 8 yuan, with limited supply. When the oil price rises to 7 yuan, a 6X4+3 semi-trailer, if the freight is less than 6 yuan/km, you are losing money on a sports car. The more you run, the more you lose.

Now, the price of fuel has risen but not fallen, and all the money is spent on car wheels. Although the oil price has not risen much, if you calculate it based on a special-purpose vehicle that consumes about 10 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers, the cost of an extra year is more than 1,000 yuan, or even more. Are there any tips to save fuel when driving a low-floor transport semi-trailer?

A good fuel-saving effect is not only determined by the good technical condition of the vehicle, but more importantly, it is determined by how to drive. Scientific, technical, and proficient driving skills can reduce fuel consumption by about 30%. Develop good driving habits, such as avoiding prolonged idling, reducing load, and driving less lanes, which can save about 20% of fuel costs a year. “The more stable the acceleration and deceleration, the more fuel-efficient it is. The potential fuel savings of semi-trailers on highways can reach 33%, and fuel savings on urban roads can also reach 5%.” It is recommended to avoid frequent traffic jams. Change lanes, because in this process two steps of rapid acceleration and rapid braking have to be completed, which will double the fuel loss. According to reports, in the case of low-speed gear, only the accelerator is used to accelerate, 10 times of rapid acceleration, and more than 120 ml of fuel is consumed; 10 rapid starts, a waste of more than 120 ml of fuel; 10 times of idling on the accelerator, a waste of fuel of up to 60 ml . Similarly, it is not advisable to idling the engine, because the semi-trailer with a fence is parked in place, but the engine is still on, and the vehicle consumes fuel when the engine is idling, and doing so will increase air pollution. If you are sure that your car will be parked for more than 1 minute, it is best to turn off the engine.

According to statistics, every 2 minutes of stopping the engine when the engine is started can save 0.9 yuan in fuel costs. In the daily maintenance of special vehicles, it is found that more than 1/4 of the semi-trailer tires have insufficient inflation, which will increase the fuel efficiency loss by 2.8%, so sufficient air in the tires is one of the ways to save fuel. In addition, overweight vehicles will consume more fuel when driving, and each additional 50 kilograms of goods will consume 1% to 2% more fuel. It is recommended that the car mainly tidy up the trunk regularly, and do not let them add unnecessary burden to the beloved semi-trailer!

A very practical way to drive an ordinary semi-trailer to save fuel

1. First of all, insist on meeting the tire pressure. The impact of tire pressure on fuel consumption, look at the tires at least once a month, if the tire drops 10 pounds, the fuel will be reduced by more than 3%.

2. Do not detonate the semi-trailer before starting or stalling. Some drivers are accustomed to bombing the fuel before starting. In fact, this is harmful and not beneficial. It not only aggravates engine wear and causes environmental pollution, but also consumes 0.01 liters of fuel for every kick of the accelerator.

3. Don't let the semi-trailer heat up and idling for a long time. Generally, the fuel consumption of a trailer at idle speed is 8 liters per hour, and it consumes 0.14 liters per minute, which is more than the fuel used to restart the engine once.

4. Don't stop suddenly and accelerate suddenly. You should plan in advance before stopping. Don't just brake when you want to stop. You should try to make use of the car's inertia and stop after sliding. Sudden acceleration consumes 1/3 more fuel than uniform acceleration.

5. Don't stop and go and abuse the brakes. Try to avoid traffic jams on the way before driving, because stop and go consumes 50% more fuel than normal driving. When driving, braking should be reduced as much as possible, and the drag of the engine and low gears should be fully utilized.

6. Please close the semi-trailer for long-term parking. When other people started waiting for cars in the driveway of the car restaurant, I turned off the engine and went to the restaurant to buy coffee. Generally speaking, an engine idling for 15 minutes will consume nearly 1 liter of gasoline.

Seven, the driving speed is moderate, not too fast or too slow. In order to prevent a red light at every intersection, it is necessary to synchronize the speed of the vehicle with the rhythm of the signal light change to avoid stopping at a red light.

8. When driving, choose the road surface correctly and don't rush into it. According to experiments, driving on uneven roads consumes 20%-30% more fuel than driving on good roads. Don't drag the block when going uphill, don't accelerate quickly. When going downhill to ensure safety, try to slide as much as possible, but don't stall.

Nine, fewer short-distance vehicles. Short-distance vehicles cannot give full play to the excellent working efficiency of the engine. If multiple times can be merged into one, it can not only exert its work efficiency, but also reduce the wear and tear of vehicles and effectively save fuel.

10. Plan for long-distance driving and don't travel blindly. First of all, you must be familiar with the route to prevent the waste of fuel from going to the west. Second, you must go to bed early and get up early to avoid the rush hour when there are many cars and people on the road. Third, try to use less air-conditioning. If possible, avoid severe weather such as rain, fog, and snow. Driving against the wind also consumes 10% more fuel.

11. Semi-trailers insist on Z fast speed. On the expressway, some owners use a speed of 120 km/h, and I insist on 110 km/h. In the daily commute, a speed of more than ten kilometers will not reduce the distance, but it can improve your fuel economy on the highway.

12. Choose economical speed instead of blindly pursuing speed. Take Santana as an example. Driving on a straight road at 60 kilometers per hour will save fuel. If you drive at 30 kilometers per hour, you will consume 7%-8% more fuel. If you drive at 80 kilometers per hour, you will consume more fuel. Oil 9%-13%.

13. Braking of semi-trailers reduces fuel. "On urban roads, I choose steep acceleration, and many owners have made many mistakes that we see on the road: every traffic light is stepped on the accelerator, only when it hits the vehicle quickly in front of the emergency brake. This does not Can't make you go home faster, and the steep control can improve fuel economy by about 20%.

14. Don't bring unnecessary items. Weight is the Z's enemy of fuel consumption. For every additional 50 kilograms of items, the vehicle will increase fuel consumption by about 1%.

15. Use a fixed-speed semi-trailer to cruise. I tried to insist on unified control, and the speed of control of some owners was fluctuating. Quasi-cruise control uses constant speed and persistence as much as possible, so that continuous acceleration and deceleration are more economical.
