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”

Diesel Rises Again, Gaining 5.4¢ to $3.069 a Gallon


Diesel rose for the second straight week and the seventh time in eight weeks, increasing 5.4 cents to $3.069 per

gallon, the Department of Energy said Monday.

Last week was the first time since November 2008 that trucking’s main fuel had topped $3, and Monday’s

increase left the price 84 cents higher than the same week last year.

Diesel had gained 19.8 cents in five straight increases before last week’s 7.6-cent jump and a 0.7-cent dip two

weeks ago, according to DOE records.

Gasoline also rose for the second straight week and seventh time in eight weeks, gaining 3.2 cents to $2.858,

DOE said following its weekly survey of filling stations.

Gas had risen 21.1 cents in five straight weeks of gains before last week’s 2.8-cent rise and a 2.1-cent drop two

weeks ago.

The diesel price was the highest since it was $3.088 per gallon on Nov. 3, 2008, while gasoline’s was the most

expensive since the $2.914 price on Oct. 20, 2008.

The increases came on the heels of last week’s jump in crude oil futures, which closed over $86 a barrel last

Monday on the New York Mercantile Exchange for the first time since Oct. 9, 2008, Bloomber g reported.

Oil prices have declined $2.50 per barrel in four straight declines over the past four trading days — from $86.84

last Tuesday to $84.34 Monday on the Nymex, Bloomberg said.

Each week, DOE surveys about 350 diesel filling stations to compile a national snapshot average price.
