Fuel cost savings
16 October 2013
It is reported that a busy container terminal in South Wales is set to save thousands of pounds in fuel costs thanks to the latest engine technology at the heart of a new Hyster reach truck, supplied by Briggs Equipment.
The new RS45-31CH is working at the 25 acre facility in Cardiff and Freightliner is already benefitting from the truck's high-tech Stage IIIB compliant diesel engine that offers reduced exhaust gas emissions in addition to savings on fuel.
Mike Parkin, Briggs Equipment's port and terminal manager, says: "The engine is slightly smaller than on previous models but the new Cummins QSL9 nine-litre unit, when combined with Hyster's Intelligent Design criteria is just as powerful, despite being 20% more fuel efficient."
