The fuel consumption of heavy-duty commercial vehicles and possible savings potentials are significantly influenced by individual transport missions. The added value of an integrated procedure for the customer-specific evaluation is demonstrated on the example of air drag, rolling resistance and weight reduction measures on semi-trailer trucks in long-distance traffic. For this, vehicle data acquisition, air drag measurements as well as fuel consumption simulations and measurements are conducted.     «
