Freight Best Practice Publish Two New...
...Aerodynamic Guides
The Freight Best Practice programme today (30th August) published two new Guides examining the subject of Aerodynamics. The Guides 'Aerodynamics for Efficient Road Freight Operations' and 'Quick Guide to Truck Aerodynamics' help those who are responsible for acquiring or managing vehicles to understand the benefits of aerodynamic styling features when fit to HGV's. Both publications provide completely independent and authoritative guidance on truck aerodynamic styling.
Quick Guide to Truck Aerodynamics
The Quick Guide takes a compact and concise look at aerodynamic styling. The Guide provides straightforward advice for transport professionals who may be taking a first look into the benefits of aerodynamics. The Quick Guide makes accessible what may initially seem a daunting large scale modification process.
The Guide emphasises the importance of selecting and maintaining the right aerodynamic equipment in order to maximise savings together, with methods of monitoring and measuring performance. It offers a handy 'Aerodynamic Equipment Shopping List' and describes the basic features available to you and your business.
Aerodynamics for Efficient Road Freight Operations
'Aerodynamics for Efficient Road Freight Operations' on the other hand shows transport managers how the benefits and pitfalls might apply to an operation and how to go about choosing the right aerodynamic kit to maximise benefits. It outlines in detail the benefits of aerodynamic styling relative to other fuel-saving methods and gives advice on how to decide if aerodynamics can help, including fitment for new and retrofitted modifications.
It also provides advice, case studies, checklists, a useful 'top tips' section, savings to cost ratio's indicating the value for money each feature represents and most importantly includes the payback periods on installing different types of aerodynamic devices.
The 'Aerodynamics for Efficient Road Freight Operations' and 'Quick Guide to Aerodynamics' are completely free of charge as are all Freight Best Practice publications, and can be obtained by calling the Freight Best Practice Hotline on 0845 877 0 877 or by visiting www.freightbestpractice.org.uk
