Trackrite Ltd, can improve your fuel economy, lead to reduced tyre wear, fewer carbon emissions and better handling for your lorry or commercial vehicle. Adverse wheel alignment increases tyre rolling resistance which in turn makes your engine work harder. Consequently your fuel economy dips and your tyres will wear more quickly.
Reduced Tyre Wear
Most vehicles which have been driven 150,000 km need a new set of tyres at a cost of approximately £2500. Experience shows that we can save about 20% i.e. £500 if the axles and wheels are properly aligned. At Trackrite Ltd we have proved that by asking customers a few questions about some of the circumstances the vehicles will be used in, we can arrive at a wheel alignment setting to suit the vehicle operation, thus achieving optimum tyre performance.
Improved fuel economy and consumption
A vehicle which is properly aligned consumes 30 litres per 100km,
i.e. 150,000km x 30/100 = 45,000 litre per year.
A vehicle which is not aligned properly will consume at least 4% more fuel,
i.e. 1.800 litre more per year. 1,800 litres amounts to £1286.
We have saved £500 in outlay for tyres and £1286 in outlay for fuel. These savings should be compared with the costs for adjustment and measurement of a vehicle. irrespective of this amount WE can promise you that it will be a positive result!
