Ngakhale magalimoto amakono a dizilo amatha kupitilira 50mpg pamsewu, ma lorry (omwe amadziwikanso kuti ma HGV ndi ma artic) sapeza chilichonse chotere. Mu 2003, deta yochokera ku dipatimenti ya Transport inasonyeza kuti pafupifupi 'makilomita pa galoni' ya artic yolemera 33t inali 7.6mpg. Mu 2015, kuchuluka kwamafuta komweko kudalumphira mpaka 7.9mpg, kuwonjezereka kwa 0.3mpg. Ndipo, kwa inu amene ubongo wanu umagwira ntchito malita/100km, ndiye kuti lorry yamakono imadya mafuta okwana malita 29.774 pa 100km. Kwa inu omwe mukufuna, mutha kudziwerengera nokha ziwerengero za DFT zomwe zasindikizidwa pano.
Ndi vumbulutso lomwe lili pamwambapa kuti artic imabweretsa kuchepa kwamafuta amafuta, mutha kukhala mukudabwa chifukwa chake zilili choncho ngakhale magalimoto oyipitsa kwambiri pamsika amapeza ndalama zambiri zamafuta. Chabwino, pali zifukwa zazikulu ziwiri za izi:
1. Malole amakhala ndi zolemetsa zambiri kukoka
Malo okwera 6-axle amatha kulemera mpaka matani 44, pomwe magalimoto odziwika bwino a 2-axle (okhala ndi ma axle atatu pa ngolo) amatha kulemera mpaka matani 3. Yerekezerani izi ndi saloon yamakono ya dizilo monga BMW 40d, yomwe imalemera kwambiri matani 320, ndipo mutha kuwona chifukwa chake injini zamagalimoto, monga za Scania, zimatha kufika malita 2.105 ndi mphamvu yayikulu. - kuti athe kukoka kulemera komwe asenza, mosasamala kanthu kuti achita bwino.
2. Palibe chikakamizo pamakampani kuti apangitse malori kuti agwire bwino ntchito
Chinanso choyenera kukumbukira ndi chakuti pamene opanga magalimoto ali pansi pa chitsenderezo chachikulu kuchokera ku EU kuti apange injini zawo zogwira mtima, opanga magalimoto satero. Chifukwa chake, opanga magalimoto ambiri asiya injini zazikulu, zofunidwa mwachilengedwe m'malo mwa injini zazing'ono, za turbo (mwachitsanzo Ford yokhala ndi 1.0 EcoBoost, ngakhale opanga ena sanatsatire, chitsanzo ndi Mazda ndi injini yawo ya 2.0 SKYACTIV).
Poyerekeza ndi chitsenderezo chomwe opanga magalimoto ali nacho kuti azitha kuyendetsa bwino komanso kuchepetsa kutulutsa mpweya, opanga magalimoto amakhala ochepa kwambiri.
Izi zikhoza kusintha posachedwapa, chifukwa ku United States, bungwe la Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ndi National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) linakhazikitsa malamulo atsopano mu 2016 kuti achepetse mpweya wa magalimoto ndi kugwiritsa ntchito mafuta. Malamulowa amafuna kuti opanga achepetse mpweya ndi 25 peresenti m'magalimoto awo atsopano. Malingaliro ofananawo atha kupangidwa ku UK, ndi EU, pakapita nthawi kuti achepetse mpweya. Pakalipano, miyezo yotulutsa mpweya wamagalimoto ku EU imatanthauzidwa ndi mphamvu ya injini ndi g/kWh.
