6.9% for Hargreaves

6.9% fuel saving

Aerodyne Equipment was asked to come up with an aerodynamic solution to improve on the Scania factory fitted air management kits.

Following fitment and successful operation of the vehicles with the new air kits from Aerodyne, Hargreaves reported fuel savings in the region of 6.9% additional to those received from the factory kit.

These results show how much savings can be made when fitted a well matched Air Management kit, especially when the incremental cost between the factory kit and the Aerodyne kit in this case was negligible.
