Qingling Isuzu trucks have always been popular all over the world with low fuel consumption, but even with the same GIGA, different driving habits will produce different fuel consumption. Isuzu invites experienced drivers from all over the world to conduct fuel-saving driving training. Through two tests before and after the training, it is reflected that driving the vehicle according to the fuel-saving driving method can reduce the average fuel consumption by 33.3%, and the highest can reach 69%. Today we will talk about how to drive GIGA more fuel efficient.
Vehicles have an economy speed at which fuel consumption is lower than all other speeds. After the vehicle speed exceeds the economical speed, the faster the vehicle speed, the greater the fuel consumption, and maintaining the economical speed can reduce the fuel consumption.
If the vehicle is driven at a speed of 100km/h for 10 minutes, the engine will turn 5320 more rpm than using the 6th gear in the 5th gear. Therefore, shifting to high-speed gear as soon as possible is a major point to save fuel.
When driving on flat roads and the traffic conditions are ideal, choose a higher gear to maintain a constant speed in the lower area of the engine economic speed zone. At this time, the engine torque is larger and the fuel consumption is less.
During variable speed driving, due to repeated acceleration and deceleration operations, the fuel consumption will be significantly increased, so keep driving at a steady speed and keep the accelerator pedal as still as possible, which is very important to save fuel.
When going down a steep slope, add to the appropriate gear to release the accelerator, and use the engine brake to slide in gear. Remember to not allow the neutral gear to slide. For common rail engines, the computer will automatically stop the fuel injection. At this time, the fuel injection amount is close to zero. It will be more fuel-efficient. If you coast in neutral, it will not only be dangerous. At this time, the engine is running at an idle speed, and there will be an instantaneous fuel supply of 2-3 liters/hour, and the fuel consumption will not be saved.
When the engine is idling, it also consumes fuel. Control the idling speed to a minimum. If possible, try to turn off the engine when parking and waiting.
