Blackpool based haulier and Palletforce member E Vallance Transport Services has had one of his high roof curtainsiders retrofitted with sloping front end and its now turning in a fuel consumption improvement close to 11%.
The conversion was carried out at Montracon's repair and refurb centre at Wilberfoss (nr York) which has seen a leap in enquiries from operators urgently looking to streamline both their trailers and their fuel bills in the face of escalating prices at the pump.
E Vallance Transport Services managing director Steve Vallance says, he'd love the saving to be a little higher! But he is already lopping around £4500.00 a year from the vehicle's fuel bill based at today's bunkered prices…and with prices threatening to go even higher, who knows what this saving might clock up to in the future!
