Number of vehicles in the fleet: 400
Potential cost savings: almost £ 50 000 over 3 years

Not everyone will want or need to take advantage of the increased load capacity offered by a lightweight racking system. But there is still money to be saved on reduced fuel costs.

For a fleet where the average racking system weight is reduced by 44 kg (from 144 kg to 100 kg), fuel consumption can be reduced by 0.1 litres /100 km*. If each vehicle on average drives 35,000 km per year, the fleet consists of 400 vehicles and fuel costs £ 1.4 per litre, the business can save almost £ 50 000 over a three-year period.

* Example based on 220 working days per year.
