addvantage is a groundbreaking retro fit dual-fuel system that cuts CO2 emissions by up to 23% and fuel costs by 9.5% for heavy-duty trucks and other large diesel engines.
About
addvantage delivers significant reductions in emissions for large diesel engines and irresistible fuel-efficiency gains.
addvantage retrofits easily in 4 hours to any of the 6 million + heavy- duty diesel trucks in the UK & Europe.
addvantage has a rental model delivering an instant ROI with no customer capex required.
Key Benefits
addvantage is a unique and proven technology. It delivers fuel-economy improvements by an average of 9.5% for large diesel engines while also reducing CO2 by up to 23%. Both the fuel- efficiency improvements and emissions reductions have been confirmed in independent testing by Emissions Analytics.
addvantage uses powertrain telemetry and proprietary software to introduce LPG to the combustion chamber. The addvantage system can be easily retrofitted to existing diesel engines and has already been tested and ordered by truck fleets in the UK.
addvantage addresses the two key challenges for the trucking industry - low margins and the need to reduce emissions.
Our unique app instant access to savings and carbon reduction data. addvantage has developed a bespoke interface which provides real-time dashboard reporting, including live and historic fuel saving information, together with emission reductions. We can also produce an API so that the dashboard integrates with your own telematics solution.
The system monitors diesel and LPG consumption from the engine and addvantage ECUs and calculates both the monetary benefits based on fuel costs and burning efficiency, as well as CO2 reduction.
Haulage operators are experiencing rising costs in a highly competitive marketplace and now operate on tiny margins of 1-6%. With diesel making up 40% of a trucking fleet's costs, the improvement in fuel efficiency will deliver real competitive assistance to fleets that fit addvantage, boosting margins by up to 200%. In such a competitive industry, addvantage is a truly disruptive technology.
Applications
Our initial target market is heavy-duty trucks - tractor units, rigid trucks, aggregate lorries (tips, grabs etc).
Ultimately all vehicles and machinery that use significant quantities of diesel are potential target markets. This would include construction equipment (yellow plant), agricultural equipment, generators, marine, military and trains.
