The Future Of Trucking | The Shell Starship Initiative
Shell Lubricants selected AIC Systems for the accurate fuel consumption measurement and will demonstrate the performance of the Shell Starship vehicle during a coast-to-coast drive in the USA. The drive will begin in San Diego, California and end in Jacksonville, Florida. The drive will stop along the way to discuss with local truckers and others on what’s possible in reducing costs, emissions and increasing efficiency.
FUEL OPTIMIZATION
The Shell Starship 2.0 is equipped with the new AIC 7000 NEMO flowmeter and the Board Computer BC 3329 so the instantaneous display of the C02 emission is as well for an integral part of the data acquisition as the flow rate and fuel temperature are important values for the data analysis.
Shell’s STARSHIP 3.0 – HYPER-FUEL EFFICIENT TRUCK EQUIPPED WITH AIC PRESS RIDE APPLIATION
This is an exciting project for AIC that allows us to remain at the leading edge of technology development, energy measurement efficiency and sustainability. The transportation industry is dynamic and we intend to stay at the forefront of innovation – collaborating with companies like Cummins, Daimler, Volvo, Kennworth and Navistar and other customers to develop creative solutions that will benefit the industry for years to come.
