New Fuso Canter with EcoEfficiency; up to 9% more fuel efficient; new hybrid

Green Car Congress

When driving short distances, this technology can reduce fuel consumption by up to 3%. Longer axle ratios reduce fuel consumption. The reference mass is the kerb weight of the vehicle plus 75 kg - which accounts for the driver and a 90-percent-full fuel tank. The manufacturer can choose either of these methods.

How Safe Are EVs for Fleets?

Blink Charging

Many fleet owners and operators are interested in reducing operational and maintenance costs with electric vehicles (EVs), but they worry about vehicle safety. In a collision, an EV is less likely to cause a fire, as there is no liquid fuel to leak and catch fire. Internal sensors inject fuel into the combustion engine.
