Factors affecting fuel consumption in a fleet

Reducing total fuel consumption is an objective for many fleets today.

Fuel consumption is influenced by a series of controllable and uncontrollable factors.

Premium long-lasting tyres are beneficial for both your tyre budget and your fuel budget.

• The rolling resistance of a tyre is decreasing during its service life, as it gets lighter and stiffer. As there is less and less rubber, there is also less heat build-up.
• Tests done by Bridgestone have indicated that the longer a tyre lasts, the lower the average rolling resistance is!

Bad tyre maintenance will negatively affect your fuel budget.

Driving style, mis-alignment and aerodynamics have still a greater impact and should be effectively controlled.
