Volvo / Renault show Significant Fuel Savings In the UK using The Cell, Inc Trucker System
The Cell Inc Trucker System was fitted to a 2005my Renault Premium DCi 11 litre 420 HP. The tests were run while monitoring the engine using the Renault NG3 diagnostic tool. This is the same diagnostic tool that is currently in use around the world with all Volvo / Renault dealers. It sets the standard for accuracy in all of their diagnostic functions. The NG3 identified a reduction in fuel at the injectors of over 30% with a significant decrease in engine load as well.
The Cell Inc UK LTD, in partnership with its parent company, The Cell Inc., have been achieving fuel savings on large fleets / trucks for the past four years. Tests have been run on other large lorries in the UK with similar results.
“Continued cooperation and support from both companies will result in ongoing advancements in the rest of the Volvo / Renault fleet”, states Bob Potchen, president of The Cell, Inc in the US. Mr. Potchen continued by saying, “If all of the other manufacturers were as helpful and forthcoming with information as Volvo / Renault, are, we would have advanced much quicker in this endeavor.”
The Cell was also installed on a 2011 Renault Premium DXi, which is the latest vehicle to be released by Renault. It is powered by an 11 litre, 450HP Volvo/Renault engine running SCR. This vehicle is a popular choice in the UK for fleet operators with drivers enjoying the standard Renault options.
During testing the Renault driver advised that he felt an improvement in how the vehicle drives as well as a significant reduction in engine noise. This was also supported by the various members present from Renault that confirmed the reduction in engine noise levels. Fuel saving were reflective of the previous test and should be published in the near future.
The Cell Inc UK LTD:
“ I have been surprised how quickly operators have decided to implement The Cell into their vehicles. If you tell a customer you can save him up to 10% on fuel they generally give it a try but tell them that you can save at least double that figure and they say it is impossible! Having successfully trialed The Cell with some major fleets and Manufactures they have now accepted that the savings are a reality”
