Truck
2000
Peterbilt Truck - reduced PM by 80% and NOX by 93%.
Fuel Economy increased 25%. <435 HP Detroit Diesel Engine>
Fuel economy increased 25% & increased MPG from 4.9 to 6.1
NYC area - Carting / Refuse Firm - (Diesel) (2005)
"31% increase in mileage over a 30 day period."
(over the road transfer truck)
"The units on Truck 20 & 25 were installed in early July/2005...
(of a fleet of 25 trucks, 5 units have been installed - refuse/garbage trucks / stop, go, idling &
stop, go idling, etc). The units on the other trucks were installed in late Nov/2005.
The most accurate to measure is #20 since it was one of the first and does not seem to swing that much.
If you average Jan to Jun/2005 you get 2.33 MPG... From Jul/2005 to Jan/2006 you average 2.62 MPG.
That truck would have used 5,990 gallons at the old mileage, instead it used 5,331 gallons
(reduction of 659 gallons) a savings about 11%."
