Key features that enable truck fuel efficiency

Real-time fuel monitoring

Improve fuel efficiency for your trucks with real-time fuel monitoring. By connecting to your truck’s FMS or CAN bus1, you get clear insight into how fuel is being used on each trip. Notifications when the fuel level is low alert you to abnormal fuel loss or theft.

All you need to know about fuel efficient trucks

What is the average fuel efficiency of trucks?

Jump to content

It depends on a couple of factors: 1. Truck size and payload and 2. What kind of environment the truck is travelling through (i.e., urban or interurban). Generally, a truck's average fuel efficiency is 30 to 40 litres of diesel for every 100km driven. Larger trucks with payloads of 23,500kg or so can consume up to 38 litres for every 100km. Smaller vehicles, and those with smaller loads, will of course use less fuel. A small truck with a payload of 16,000kg, for instance, consumes about 25 litres of diesel per 100km.

How much fuel does a lorry use per hour?

Factors like speed and weather conditions will determine how much fuel a lorry uses per hour. According to figures from the Department of Transport, a truck consumes 1.9 litres of fuel per hour just by idling. At a speed of 37 miles per hour, a truck uses 4.1 litres. With a speed of 56 miles per hour, a lorry will consume 8.4 litres of fuel.

What impacts truck fuel efficiency the most?

Driver behaviour and vehicle condition are two of the biggest influences on fuel efficiency. Idling time, cruise control, acceleration and speed consistency are all in the driver's control. Webfleet's PRO Driver Terminals provide active feedback, helping drivers adopt more fuel-ef­fi­cient habits behind the wheel. A roadworthy truck is a more fuel-ef­fi­cient vehicle, so regular maintenance helps ensure that a vehicle's tyres, brakes and engine are in good working order.

Why is truck fuel efficiency important?

Fuel makes up a large chunk of the total cost of ownership—up to 38% for your fleet. If you're looking to cut costs (and what fleet owner or manager isn't?), fuel efficiency is key. Reducing CO2 emissions is vital, and fuel-ef­fi­cient trucks undoubtedly produce less carbon.

How do you manage fuel for trucks?
