Financial Report The aerodynamic truck of the future The Concept S truck study shows what can be achieved by combining an aerodynamic design with additional innovations: up to 25% less fuel consumption and a sustainable reduction in CO2 emissions. The vehicle concept is a perfect blend of the streamlined MAN Concept S tractor unit and the matching Krone AeroLiner trailer, forming a single aerodynamic unit with the same amount of loading space as today’s semitrailer tractors. Sustainable transport solution Krone and MAN’s joint study is a real head turner. If the Concept S reminds you of a dolphin, then you’re right on track. The design of the semitrailer tractor features e cient lines – just like the body of a dolphin – enabling extremely low aerodynamic drag similar to that for cars. Top marks for aerodynamics A rounded front, streamlined integrated tanks, and an intelligent roof spoiler concept: the optimized design facilitates outstanding air ow around the entire semitrailer tractor. Futuristic and customer-oriented The Concept S’s fascinating design gives a glimpse into the future in terms of safety, environmental protection, and e ciency. Design study on the screen.

  • Ford Trucks Tractor Series
    Ford Trucks Tractor Series TRUCKS Sharing the load It’s the way of the world... Wherever we travel, we long for those we leave behind. A burden shared is a burden halved. And that’s why we’re here: to share the load. To love takes strength. But it takes greater strength to leave the ones you love behind. The long journey may be fuelled with diesel, but it’s the little photo on the dashboard and our cherished memories that keep us going. We know how long the road can seem... How quickly seasons change and how children grow taller with every passing day. We transport tons of grain for the sake of a simple loaf shared among friends and loved ones. They say in business, “Your word is your bond”. When measured on a scale, what has greater weight than a promise? And when people have put their faith in you, who do you turn to? We will get there whichever way the road turns. We may carry a load, but we deliver a promise. Perhaps one day machines will carry our burdens as well as our load. But until then, we’re the ones on this road. Join us. We’re moving forward... They say “If you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together...” Sharing the load... 2 3 Ford Trucks Tractor Series: Moving forward with every new feature It’s no easy feat to carry the load across long distances on international and intercity roads. It’s hard to beat the fierce competition and even harder to find a powerful companion that will share your load… Ford Trucks Tractor Series offers high performance with low fuel consumption, thanks to the powerful Ecotorq engine.

  • TIS-0012 Axle Loads and Weight Distribution
    TECHNICAL INFORMATION SHEET Axle weights and load distribution 1. Introduction This Technical Information Sheet provides guidance on where to position loads on standard 13.6 m (45’) long trailers in order to satisfy legal limits for axle weights. Note: There are many variables that affect the permissible axle loads on a vehicle: • Using 2 or 3 axle tractor units • Suspension design • Position of king-pin from headboard • Tractor axle kerb weights • 5th wheel position • Distance between king-pin and tri-axle • Fuel load • Trailer length • Tri-axle spacing • Axle design limits • Trailer tare weights on • Trailer suspension type - mechanical or • Tractor unit axle spacing king-pin and tri-axle air suspension Therefore, this Technical Information Sheet can only provide guidance for typical tractor - trailer combinations. Important note: The final responsibility for meeting legal limits lies with the driver of the vehicle being used. 2. Axle weight limits Axle weight limits vary from country to country and a list of permissible maximum weight limits for the main European destinations can be found in Table 1 on page 4. Typical axle weight limits for European freight are shown below: Two axle tractor 5 axle combination Gross Train Weight 7.1* t 11.5 t 8 t 8 t 8 t (GTW) 40 tonnes Gross Vehicle Weight Gross Bogie Weight 18 tonnes max. 24 tonnes max.

  • Impact of Semitrailer Tyre Pressure Upon Passive Resistance and Tractor Unit Operation Economy
    Impact of semitrailer tyre pressure upon passive resistance and tractor unit operation economy P. Novák, T. Šmerda, J. Čupera Faculty of Agronomy, Mendel University of Agriculture and Forestry in Brno, Brno, Czech Republic Abstract: The aim of the measurement was to establish and prove the effect of the semitrailer tyre pressure on the magnitude of power losses and energy intensity in a tractor unit operation. The measured and calculated values were interlaid with the corresponding functions by means of regression analysis considering the magnitude of the determi- nation coefficient (determination index). The values of the determination index ranged from 0.95 to 0.99 for regression functions; all the regression function were highly reliable at 0.01 relevance level. The difference of the lost power was recorded at the speed of 35 km/h, 1.82 kN between 170 kPa and 300 kPa pressures. The energy intensity of the tractor unit operated on the testing route changed as a result of increasing the semitrailer tyre pressure from 170 kPa to 240 kPa while its hourly consumption dropped by 1.9 l/h (i.e. 6.3%). Keywords: lost power; speed; rolling; tyre pressure; fuel consumption Transport is a necessary part of each production Agricultural transport is specific in that it takes process, which does not change the utility value of place on surfaces of different bearing capacities. This the products but increases the production costs. In creates conflicting requirements for the tyre pres- the conditions of Czech agriculture, about 35% of sure magnitude and hindrances arise to its optimum diesel fuel consumption is spent in handling, loading setting.
