China has set goals for energy conservation and emission reduction in the twelfth five-year plan, and the decided schedule of the Euro 4 standard execution shows the great efforts and determination of government. In truck industry, fuel-saving is the common goal for all the manufacturers and logistics companies. Volvo Trucks is insisting on a principle of “Every Drop Accounts” to enable its trucks to reduce fuel consumption at the rate of 1% per year through the use of advanced technology. In addition, Volvo Trucks keeps emphasizing on soft skills that facilitate the improvement of fuel efficiency. Through its fuel-efficiency related services of Total Transport Solutions, including professional drivers training, performance measurements, and lean fuel services, Volvo Trucks helps customers reduce fuel costs. According to Volvo Trucks data, driving skills could impact on around 20% fuel consumption, and the number could climb to 50% when the driving behavior is incorrect. Volvo Trucks insist that fuel-saving and driving behavior improvement could be the key to help logistic companies realize higher efficiency and lower operation cost.
