Fact sheet “Less Fuel Consumption”
The topic of the second fact sheet is “Less Fuel Consumption”. Fuel consumption is not only influenced by the vehicle (type of engine, aerodynamic profile, tyres,…) but also by the pavement it is driving on. The factors related to the surface of the pavement are the evenness, the surface texture and the deflection. While texture […]
