Damn. That’s quite impressive. My Chevrolet Traverse does marginally better than that. BUT it weighs a fraction of a loaded tractor/trailer! WTF! 😆
That's fantastic! I recall around a dozen years ago, a Class 8 truck was typically around 6 mpg. I was researching various powertrain packages at the time including 50% brake thermal efficiency engines and waste heat recovery. I recall those would get a truck up to ~12mpg. Anything that can be done to reduce diesel consumption is great!
Great work Can I ask what the gross mass was for the truck trailer combo? I’m assuming you had a payload in the reefer?
Is that 18mpg ignoring the electricity, or 18mpge?
