In today’s competitive trucking industry, maximizing fuel efficiency can significantly impact your bottom line. For fleet owners and managers, fuel efficiency isn’t just a goal—it’s a necessity. One proven way to achieve this is by equipping your vehicles with SmartWay-verified tires. These tires, endorsed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), utilize low rolling resistance (LRR) technology to cut fuel consumption and emissions by 3% or more in long-haul operations. However, realizing these savings requires more than just installing the right tires; consistent tire maintenance is essential.
To learn more about how to maximize fuel efficiency with SmartWay verified tires, watch this video where Tim Abel, Truck Stop and Original Equipment Sales Manager for Double Coin Tires, explains the critical role proper tire maintenance plays in achieving these savings.
SmartWay-verified tires are engineered to reduce rolling resistance—the energy lost as tires roll over the road. This reduction is achieved through advanced designs and materials that minimize friction, allowing trucks to maintain speed with less energy and, therefore, less fuel. However, the key to unlocking the full benefits of these tires lies in proper tire maintenance.
Tim Abel, Truck Stop and Original Equipment Sales Manager for Double Coin, emphasizes the importance of tire pressure in maintaining the effectiveness of SmartWay tires. “Air pressure is the simplest, most economical way of maximizing the fuel efficiency of either a fuel-efficient SmartWay verified product or a standard truck tire,” Abel explains. Even a slight drop of 5 PSI in tire pressure can negate the fuel efficiency gains provided by these advanced tires.
Double Coin offers a range of SmartWay-verified tires designed to meet the specific needs of different positions on your vehicles. Here’s a detailed look at the key SmartWay-verified tire options available:
By incorporating these SmartWay-verified tires into your fleet, you can significantly reduce fuel consumption, leading to lower operating costs and a reduced environmental footprint. However, proper maintenance is essential to fully benefit from these advanced tire technologies.
To help your fleet reap the full benefits of SmartWay tires, consider implementing these best practices:
SmartWay tires present a significant opportunity to enhance your fleet’s fuel efficiency, but the key to unlocking these benefits is diligent tire maintenance, particularly in managing air pressure.
