The North American Council for Freight Efficiency<\/a> (NACFE) is calling for wider sharing of fuel economy test data within the trucking industry to drive greater and faster advances in fuel savings.<\/p>\n

As reported by Fleet Owner, the organization recently released a \u201cconfidence report\u201d that highlights six insights to foster broader industry fuel gains.<\/p>\n

Despite recent decreases in fuel prices, fuel costs have generally risen swiftly over the past decade and all indications are that fuel price volatility will continue, \u201cforcing the industry to find solutions that increase its fuel efficiency in order to stay profitable,\u201d NACFE said in its Determining Efficiency<\/a><\/u><\/em> report.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur recommendation is that a lot of data exists and steering of it is needed,\u201d Mike Roeth, NACFE\u2019S executive director, explained in a conference call with reporters. \u201cWe don\u2019t need a lot more testing; what we need is a lot more sharing of what testing has been done.\u201d<\/p>\n

A lot of challenges of doing that surrounds the variances in testing methods, how to extrapolate data from those tests, the existence of sometimes \u201cold\u201d data, which component is attribute with specific fuel mileage gains, and so on, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith more data sharing, the industry will have more confidence and be likely to pursue specific technologies,\u201d Roeth noted. \u201cThe challenge is that there is no one place for fleet to go get an answer. So we\u2019re trying to consolidate that information into a place where people have confidence in the reporting.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that the goal here is trying to learn from testing conducted by \u201cearly-adopting\u201d fleets as well as from truck and trailer manufacturers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to help bring this information, since it is of higher quality and more understandable, to the masses in the industry,\u201d Roeth said. \u201cMost importantly, we need to look at multiple methods to seek trends. Don\u2019t fall in love with a single test \u2013 one test is one test.\u201d<\/p>\n

NACFE believes that multiple tests allow the industry to better illuminate trends. \u201cMultiple data sets [will generate] the most confidence where payback can be found,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n

To that end, the group emphasized that gaining a more \u201ccomprehensive overview\u201d of the fuel and freight efficiency measurement and estimation methods used within the trucking industry, and broadly sharing the results of those tests, will allow fleets to make better investment decisions, no matter the technology they are considering.<\/p>\n

NACFE\u2019s report offers six \u201cinsights\u201d that could foster more cooperative use of test results and thus broader fuel economy gains:<\/p>\n
