Vandecasteele takes delivery of new trucks
Vandecasteele Houtimport has taken delivery of 17 new Volvo trucks. “We have opted for the Volvo truck FH
of 510 HP with Euro-6 engine, as it is a brand new model which has all possible safety features and ‘top of the shelf’ technologies,” said Stefaan Vandecasteele. The Euro-6 engines reduce fuel consumption and CO2
emissions. These
new trucks consume 27 litres per 100km compared to 31 litres for the previous model.
All trucks are equipped with the Volvo Connect fleet management system, an on- board computer consisting of four software components: Positioning, Driver Times, Messaging and Fuel and Environment. The positioning component is a tracking system that allows the trucks to be tracked down to street level and to monitor speed and load information on the estimated arrival of the trucks.
With the ‘driver’ component, data from the tachograph is transferred remotely, providing insight into the driver’s times, the working time used for refuelling, loading and unloading. Via messaging it is easy for the drivers to communicate with the office or warehouse and drivers can communicate with each other. The ‘Fuel and Environment’ component registers all critical fuel parameters that have an impact on consumption such as idling, the brake-stop ratio, coasting, adjusting speed, the use of cruise control and the efficient use of the engine and gearbox.
