“I had an L330D Volvo wheel loader, which is already a pretty fuel-efficient machine, and I saw a 6% improvement. The greatest reduction, 32%, was on a Caterpillar 980C wheel loader. It’s pretty easy to do the math. There’s a 3309 Terex haul truck that went from 12.8 gallons per hour down to 10.”
“First and foremost, we are interested in the health of our employees. If we get a dollar savings, that’s great. We’re after trying to reduce our emissions as much as possible. They (the installed devices) really do seem to help.”
