How BharatBenz Makes The Most Fuel-Efficient Trucks In The Country

To run any vehicle, it is best to ensure that the fuel is utilized best. That is a major factor for the success or failure of a logistics business, especially the ones that employ commercial vehicles in large fleets. While many commercial vehicle dealers in India make bold claims about the performance and fuel efficiency of their trucks, very few actually hold up to the brochures. Fuel efficient trucks have an increased demand in recent months, since nowadays medical supplies and packages ordered online mostly see their way through roads in the back of trucks. However, that is not something that you need to worry about if you got your trucks from Globe Trucking.

Being the exclusive dealer of BharatBenz trucks in India, Globe Trucking has made its name over the years through their varied inventory and high quality of commercial vehicles. Most prominent on the roads in Northern India and based in Punjab, Globe Trucking has ensured that when your business has to pay the bills due at the end of a cycle, the fuel costs never create a lot of burden on your accounts. You might be wondering how can that be possible for such huge vehicles? Well, the credit for that goes to clever engineers from BharatBenz. Let’s put our thinking caps on and take a look at what makes BharatBenz trucks so fuel efficient.

1. E-Viscous Fan

Temperature is the biggest enemy of any engine. As big diesel engines operate over long periods of time, such as in a truck carrying supplies, it generates heat that disrupts the balance of fuel consumption. To keep such an engine cool, BharatBenz trucks have an e-viscous fan installed in all models as standard. This is a feedback fan, meaning it changes the speed according to the rise in heat of the engine. This means that the engine never goes too hot as to overheat nor gets too cold as to misfire. The correct temperature keeps the truck’s fuel efficiency stable and extends the maintenance cycle so that the operator saves money on maintenance as well.

2. Common Rail System

Diesel engines are bigger in size than petrol engines due to their increased compression ratio. This means that in big engine, like trucks, there needs to be a lot of pressure before power can be delivered. It usually ranges around 1600 bar, which is very difficult to maintain. Yet, BharatBenz has a clever way to do that through the use of a common rail system. This keeps the pressure heads of all injectors at the same level, so the fuel is inserted at the right pressure for each of them. This makes it easier for the diesel to atomize into little droplets, giving you a fuel efficient truck in the long run.

3. Unitized Pumps

That much pressure calls for specialized pumps to be put in place, otherwise the engine can revert the pressure back to the fuel tank and cause a jam. BharatBenz trucks utilize advanced digitally controlled unitized pumps that supply the right amount of diesel to the valves when required. These are tough enough to handle over 3000 bar of pressure, so the regular 1600 bar during use is like child’s play. These pumps have an in-built mechanism that sprays the diesel into little droplets before entering the cylinder. This gives you a more concentrated air-fuel mixture which results in more power and, of course, better fuel efficiency.
