“Using lightweight materials, manufacturers can build more fuel efficient vehicles without sacrificing safety, durability and comfort. For every 10 percent of weight eliminated from a vehicle's total weight, fuel economy improves by 7 percent.”
U.S. Department of Energy
Many of the nation's largest fleets have made the switch to lightweight advanced composites from Brand FX. Here's why:
More durable than steel, yet up to 50% lighter
- 7-15% increase in fuel economy
- Reduce carbon emission penalty by more than 40%
- Reduce running costs associated with tires, brakes, transmissions, etc.
- Ability to downsize chassis without downsizing payload
- Typical service life exceeds 20 years (Brand FX SN# 0001 still in service)
- Does not rust, never needs paint
So before you break the bank greening your fleet, contact us for a free demonstration of how advanced composites are stronger than steel and smarter than plug-in electrics, hybrids and alternative fuels.
