fuel bills by up to 4% CLEAN DIESEL Technologies (CDT) is offering hauliers a subsidised trial of its new fuel additive, Platinum Plus, which is said to cut emissions while simultaneously boosting fuel economy.
The company has five fleet trials taking place at the moment. Any operators who lakes part in he trial will get a half-price deal or an agreed period of about four 10 six months.
CDT will also supply any necessary equipment for the duration of the trial such as fuel-dosing technology for the automatic control of additives.
Sales manager Mark Matchett avs: "We try not to call Platinum Plus a fuel additive as not many have been thatsuccessfuLbut tocall it a combustion catalyst instead. Primarily it reduces emissions but also has a secondary benefit in that it restores fuel economy."
Early results from the trials suggest that fuel savings of 3-4% could he achievable, says Matchett.
He reports that trials have moved away from the manual dosing of fuel tanks used initially; this was found to be a bit "bit and miss". Now electronic on-hoard vehicle dosing equipment is fitted which feeds the additive into the fuel tank.
