Kenworth's SuperTruck 2 is here. This futuristic truck boasts a 136% improvement in fuel efficiency compared to a 2009 model. Learn more about the innovative design and technologies.

  It’s time to think about energy efficiency, sustainability, resource conservation and resource depletion in the commercial trucking sector of the transportation industry.    One of the over-arching themes of the energy transition and decarbonization of the global economy that are currently underway is the idea that any progress is going to depend upon many solutions. At Truck Sail, we have focused on energy efficiency designed for large trucks and transport trailers. We have patents, working prototypes and manufacturing know-how for boattails (which extend out the back of large trucks or transport trailers) and trailer skirts (which extend from wheel to wheel on transport trailers). We can make a gap fairing, which fits between the truck and the trailer but have not yet road-tested this device.    See the Truck Sail website for pictures and short videos of these aerodynamic (fuel-saving) devices: https://www.trucksail.com/   See this video for some explanations from Paul about Truck Sail’s unique enclosed box design: https://lnkd.in/ga9s_3pr        If you are an investor or are in the trucking industry and you are interested in a role as a partner, please contact me. It’s time to do something to conserve fuel in the trucking industry. #innovation #autonomousvehicles #autonomous #adas #energysavings #investors #investment #diesel #supplychain #roadsafety #nergyefficiency #energysaving #mobile #mobility #transportation #transport #radar #lidar #sustainability #QueensUniversity #UniversityofWaterloo #engineering #engineers #science #decarbonization #resourcedepletion #conservation #resourceconservation

These engines are dyno-tested at the factory, ensuring reliability and performance. We’re pulling 80,000 pounds across the U.S. with impressive fuel efficiency and longevity. Comfort & Visibility: Driver comfort is paramount. The upgraded seats, quieter cabins, and improved visibility with new mirrors make a noticeable difference. Maintenance & Longevity: The 57X offers extended oil change intervals and predictive cruise control with the T12 automatic transmission, contributing to significant cost savings and operational efficiency. Fuel Efficiency: Our fleet is achieving over 8 miles per gallon, thanks to the truck’s aerodynamic design. This fuel efficiency is crucial in today’s market, helping us maintain a competitive edge. In conclusion, the key factors in our decision were driver comfort, fuel efficiency, and operational cost. The 2024 Western Star 57X excels in all these areas, making it an invaluable addition to our fleet. Western Star Trucks #WesternStar57X #FleetManagement #FreightHauling #FuelEfficiency

The Port of Long Beach's data shows an uptick in zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) registrations, doubling to 222 ahead of the now-delayed Advanced Clean Fleets rule: https://lnkd.in/egQbbkKq Despite this increase, ZEVs still represent a small fraction of total port #drayage moves. The anticipation of the rule also spurred a surge in internal combustion engine vehicle registrations, highlighting the industry's readiness yet underscoring the challenges ahead in transitioning to a more sustainable fleet. Golden State Logistics actively contributes to the eco-friendly transition within the logistics sector, particularly at the Port of Long Beach. As the industry prepares for the implementation of the Advanced Clean Fleets rule, GSL is at the forefront of integrating zero-emission vehicles into our fleet. This commitment not only supports California's environmental goals but also demonstrates GSL's leadership in adopting sustainable practices. By focusing on cleaner transportation solutions, GSL is helping to shape a more 🌿 sustainable future for drayage operations.

A higher-mileage truck can perform reliably for your fleet, especially if you’re regularly checking critical components. Here’s a few key areas worth looking over to keep your truck moving. #Kenworth #HigherMileageTrucks #TruckParts

How often should you check and maintain your fleet vehicle? At Total Motion we recommend that fleet managers implement mandatory checks on the basic features of a vehicle, on a frequency dictated by mileage undertaken, so this could be weekly, fortnightly or monthly depending on how much mileage the vehicle covers. This is in addition to regular servicing and MOTs and hence will ensure that drivers are safe and comfortable in their work and that fleet vehicles are efficient and downtime is minimised.
