How does keeping the weight on the vehicle affect is km/l ratio?

Edit: full this device is only 6% of the max (80000lb) weight, maybe 15% weight on just the tractor.



Exactly. We still need to do more dyno testing to get an exact figure, but we think the impact to fuel efficiency will be < 3%. We'll capture those extra carbon emissions, and we'll more than pay for the extra fuel cost by sharing the revenue from selling the carbon dioxide.

The more inefficient you make the trucks, the more carbon you'll capture!


Clearly you see the business plan!
