Neue Technologien für Verbrennung – Ladungswechsel – Mechanik – Einspritzung

The development of commercial vehicle on-road applications, such as long haul trucks or busses, is driven by the optimization of the total cost of ownership (TCO) which relates the initial product cost with operating cost. Long haul truck applications have high annual mileage at high engine loads. Thus the operating costs dominate the total cost of ownership. Consequently lowest possible fuel consumption is one of the major drivers for long haul truck applications all over the world.
