Yokohama Tire Corp., Fullerton, Calif., has updated the online Fuel Savings Calculator that Yokohama says helps commercial fleet owners and truckers improve their bottom lines by saving fuel.
“We want to show fleets how they can save money with Yokohama fuel-efficient products, and the new features we’ve added to the Yokohama Fuel Savings Calculator will do just that,” said Rick Phillips, Yokohama director of commercial sales.
The Yokohama Fuel Savings Calculator is housed in the commercial Web section at http://www.yokohamatire.com/fuel_calculator/.
“The updates include more data points on Yokohama tires, as well as our competitor tires to allow users expanded comparisons of our fuel-efficient tires, including our Zenvironment line, against others,” said Phillips. “Plus, we’ve added a print functionality that fleet owners have asked for.”
Savings are shown three ways: annual fuel savings per truck, annual fuel savings for fleet, and annual gallons of fuel saved.
According to Phillips, the Fuel Savings Calculator not only saves truckers money, but also has a ‘green’ benefit because it shows the total carbon footprint reduction of Yokohama tires compared to competitors.
“It’s important for fleets to see how the right choice of tires can dramatically reduce the carbon impact on the environment,” Phillips said. “For example, one of our tires saved more than 2,000 pounds of CO2 from being released into the atmosphere. It’s another example of our commitment to produce environmentally-sound products.”
Lift & Access is part of the Catalyst Communications Network publication family.
