Lightweighting to Improve Freight Efficiency

Lightweighting to Improve Freight Efficiency

Lightweighting to Improve Freight Efficiency

As medium- and heavy-duty trucks get heavier because of additional accessories and required emissions technology, fleets need to find ways to save on weight elsewhere in order to maintain or even increase freight efficiency. Improving your fleet’s freight tons can have several advantages, from keeping customers satisfied to not having to add another truck to the road for the same delivery or load. The most sure-fire way to cut out the weight is through better spec’ing and seeking out lighter weight materials in a process known as “lightweighting.” This paper will:

  • Teach all you need to you know about lightweighting
  • Describe what fleets can do to achieve lighter weight trucks
  • Provide case studies of fleets that have undergone lightweighting initiatives
