Fuel consumption is key success factor in logistics

Fuel accounts for up to 45 per cent of the total life-cycle cost of a truck, and is thus overall the largest individual cost item.

In the course of three years, nine trucks will cover a distance of over 3.24 million kilometres. TÜV SÜD supports this test as a technical partner. Consumption and carbon emissions will also be top themes of TÜV SÜD's premiere at the IAA Commercial Vehicles, held in Hanover between 20 and 27 September.
