Truck fuel consumption

10-11-2021

It is clear that trucks are among the biggest fuel consumers on the road. At the moment, there are approximately 250,000 commercial vehicles in the Netherlands. That is nothing compared with the 6.5 million trucks driving throughout Europe. Together, all these trucks cover huge distances and use enormous amounts of fuel.

The vast majority, around 98%, runs on diesel fuel. Some trucks are used only in the Netherlands and always refuel with the same diesel. However, there are also trucks that drive throughout Europe and refuel at many different fuel stations. As a result, truck fuel consumption can increase.

A lower cetane number can lead to less power and increased fuel consumption. With Lindemann Diesel Boost, you can increase the cetane number yourself, reduce fuel consumption and ensure optimal engine performance.

High truck fuel consumption

If your truck or truck fleet is dealing with high fuel consumption and reduced power, this may be caused by several issues, such as:

  • Dirty valves
  • Compression loss
  • Clogged or dirty diesel particulate filter
  • Dirty fuel system
  • Too low a cetane number, often due to refuelling abroad

Many of the causes above can be addressed with a fuel additive. Lindemann offers Lindemann Diesel Boost for this purpose. This additive cleans and lubricates the fuel system and improves fuel atomisation, increasing power and allowing the diesel fuel to burn more cleanly in the combustion chamber.

In addition, Lindemann Diesel Boost ensures that no condensation water is absorbed into the diesel fuel, including B7 diesel. The fuel pump and injectors are therefore protected against rust and corrosion. When you add Diesel Boost to the fuel tank at every refuel or on a regular basis, the average fuel consumption of the truck will be reduced.

Lindemann Diesel Boost is available in 400 ml, 5 litre, 10 litre and 20 litre packaging. 

Reduce truck fuel consumption?

You can do this with the Lindemann diesel additive. In addition to this fuel additive, Lindemann also offers a unique product for transport and industry. Due to increasing and stricter environmental requirements, new diesel engines are becoming more complex and the risk of engine contamination is increasing.

Deposits on injectors and nozzles in both older and modern diesel engines can lead to less efficient combustion. This may result in power loss, higher fuel consumption and increased CO2 emissions.

This unique product has many special properties, including:

  • More engine power
  • Better engine performance and additional protection
  • Cleans diesel engines and keeps them clean
  • Significantly increases the cetane number
  • Additional lubrication and anti-corrosion protection
  • Fuel savings of 2 to 5%
  • Faster ignition, resulting in lower emissions and more energy

Our customers are very enthusiastic about the performance of this product. Are you interested and do you also want to drive more sustainably? The product is highly concentrated, can be applied directly to your existing diesel fleet or own truck without modifications, and is available in large quantities.
