Purpose and goal
This project is a continuation of a previous DUO2 project where technical solutions to enable a significant reduction in fuel consumption for volume-limited vehicle combinations have been developed. The hypothesis was that high capacity vehicles reduce energy usage per unit being transported.
Expected results and effects
The goal was to reduce fuel consumption by 25% per DUO-trailer and 20% for DUO-CAT. We have reached the target.
Planned approach and implementation
A set of aspects have been taken into account such as: Vehicle Stability Fuel Consumption Accessibility (roundabout, file change and cornering) Axle and total weight
