There are three key reasons why the transition to synthetic oils is occurring. They are the proliferation of smaller displacement turbocharged engines, escalating CAFE fuel economy requirements, and government regulations to lower tailpipe emissions.
Operating costs were up across the board in 2018, as fuel costs rose and fleets increased driver wages and benefits to take advantage of what was a banner year for trucking.
Fleet managers often focus on controlling the biggest fixed operating costs for the acquisition of trucks and fuel. However, it’s the hidden costs that keep fleet managers from achieving their organization’s goals for efficiency and profitability. Renewable diesel is one option to help cut costs.
Konexial has launched the GoFuel fuel discount program, offering savings for drivers and fleets at nearly 500 travel stops across the U.S.
Propane may be a viable option for certain fleets looking for an alternative fuel source. While converting a vehicle to a propane system comes with a high initial cost, the system may come with reduced lifecycle costs over the course of that vehicle's life.
There’s water, water everywhere, and little of it being transformed into fuel. Nikola Motor wants to change that – as well as the way fleets pay for trucks and their fuel – as it rolls out the new hydrogen-powered Nikola Two.
Many fleets say 2018 was one of their best years ever, but smaller carriers (1-100 trucks), while growing, struggle with challenges such as drivers, high fuel and insurance costs, government regulations and fierce competition. HDT has an exclusive first look at a new survey by Bibby Financial Services.
Genesis Fuel Corporation has launched a new interactive diesel fuel services called Digital Diesel that allows trucking companies to digitally lock-in current diesel prices.
Dana has launched its total-cost-ownership calculator to help fleets and independent operators make cost comparisons between traditional diesel platforms and full-electric powertrain solutions.
A fleet can’t run without fuel, but it’s not “business as usual” when it comes to current fuel management trends.
