Improve and control fuel consumption
Since “energy saving and environmental protection” has become a widespread concern, Therefore, the light weight is also widely used in the field of traditional trailers.
Fuel consumption trailers are mainly determined by the engine emissions and the total mass of the vehicle.While maintaining overall quality, performance and cost, even if the optimization is constant, reducing its weight can increase output power, reduce noise, improve handling, reliability, increase speed and fuel consumption, reduce emissions, and improve safety.
Some research data show that if the vehicle weight is reduced by 10%, the fuel efficiency can be increased by 6% to 8%; if the rolling resistance is reduced by 10%, the fuel efficiency can be increased by 3%. If the transmission efficiency of the shaft, transmission and other devices is increased by 10%, the fuel efficiency can be increased by 7%. The body accounts for about 30% of the total mass of the car, no load, and about 70% of the fuel is used as the body.
Therefore, the lighter body has great benefits for fuel economy, driving stability and collision safety.
