Under-inflated Tyres Reduce Fuel Efficiency

Article written by Bush Tyres

Under-Inflated Truck Tyres are costing Hauliers Thousands of pounds in extra fuel

Truck tyres under-inflated by 10% reduce fuel efficiency by 1.5%. Under inflated tyres are dangerous as well as uneconomical. Department for Transport figures suggest that 6% of all fatal motorway accidents are caused by under-inflated tyres! Many Hauliers have already acted to cut fuel bills by being more attentive to tyre pressures.

Bush Commercial Division will arrange Regular Pressure Checks and Maintenance for your fleet!

Bush Estimated that a saving of just 0.15 miles per Gallon would translate into an annual saving of £183,000 a year on a 244 strong fleet!
