Over the last few days, I have been building a new website to promote and market FPPF Products including the most incredible product of all when it comes to looking after your diesel engine FPPF Fuel Power.
Will keep you up to date and let you know when the site is up & running. Possibly in a couple of weeks.
Just another dinner time at the side of the road. Get out the bbq plate and throw on some steak & eggs, maybe have a few zzzzzz's then off again. What a great life eh? This is the life of many a long-distant truck operator in Australia. If it wasn't for trucks, the the country would come to a standstill. So, the necessity to keep those diesels going is supreme.
But not only are we talking about the transport industry here, there are also thousands upon thousands of recreational vehicles that have diesel engines, and having a 4 x 4 Toyota Landcruiser myself, I know the importance of keeping the diesel at its peak. We all take great pleasure in going 'off-road' and having fun. But what about the adventurers and explorers? These people wander off in to the Aussie out-back for weeks at a time and rely heavily on the reliability of the diesel.
Here is an interesting article I found, but relates to new engines:
Energy-Efficient Clean Diesel Engines Key to Achieving Higher Fuel Economy and Lower GHG Emissions from Commercial Trucks
Truck and Engine Makers Announce Support for National Program
May 21, 2010 10:33 AM Eastern Daylight Time
The Diesel Technology Forum today issued the following statement on the announcement by heavy-duty engine and truck manufacturers and the Obama Administration about a national program on greenhouse gas emissions and fuel economy standards for commercial trucks.
“Diesel engines offer an unmatched combination of energy-efficiency, work capability, reliability and now near-zero emissions environmental performance making them the technology of choice for commercial trucks today and into the foreseeable future”
.“Today’s announcement highlights the prominent role of clean diesel technology to improve fuel efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in commercial trucks,” said Allen Schaeffer, executive director of the non-profit Diesel Technology Forum.
“Diesel engines offer an unmatched combination of energy-efficiency, work capability, reliability and nownear-zero emissions environmental performance making them the technology of choice for commercial trucks today and into the foreseeable future,” noted Schaeffer.
“While not a new concept to diesel engine and truck manufacturers, energy-efficiency has been the foundation of product development to meet customer demands since time began,” noted Schaer. This program is expected to expand the deployment of existing technologies and demand further innovation that recognizes the unique considerations of the trucking industry and commercial heavy-duty applications.
While continuously making commercial trucks more fuel efficient, engine and truck manufacturers have also been making them dramatically cleaner. Over the last ten years, emissions from heavy-duty diesel trucks and buses have been reduced by 99 percent for nitrogen oxides – an ozone precursor, and 98 percent for particulate emissions. Today’s new 2010 heavy-duty diesel truck deploys the most state-of-the-art engine and emissions control systems and has near zero emissions; a considerable accomplishment considering that increased fuel efficiency and lower emissions are near opposite and competing forces in diesel engine design.
That's it for now, be sure to share this post with anyone you think might be interested!
