| How much fuel can I save as a result of following this training? |
| #################################################################################################################### |
| You talk about training in economic driving, because your products react to driving style. That isn’t very reassuring. |
| #################################################################################################################### |
| My fleet manager has the profile to follow the Optifuel Programme. But what are my drivers going to think? I don’t want to make them feel ill at ease by giving them the impression that they are being watched. |
| #################################################################################################################### |
| Can Optifuel Infomax and Optifuel Programme be implemented on vehicles from competing brands? |
| Can Optifuel Infomax and Optifuel Programme be implemented on vehicles from competing brands? |
| Which type of customer should we offer Optifuel Programme and Optifuel Infomax to? |
| Our experience shows that customers with all sizes of business and types of activity can benefit from these offers. |
| Why should we analyse our vehicles’ data with Optifuel Infomax? |
| Analysing the data makes it possible to understand how the vehicle is used and to identify the points which need improving in order to optimise vehicle use and fuel consumption. |
| Should all data available on the Optifuel Infomax report be analysed? |
| #################################################################################################################### |
| How can consumption be reduced on vehicles following an analysis with Optifuel Infomax? |
| The analysis on its own, based on Optifuel Infomax, is not enough to reduce a vehicle’s consumption. An action plan must be implemented to make the improvements. It is important to involve drivers and share the results of the analysis with them. |
| Is there a technical support service for Optifuel Infomax that can answer my questions? |
| YES: Contact details by country and language are available on the Optifuel Infomax website (www.renault-trucks.com/infomax), First of all make sure you are correctly registered on the Optifuel Infomax site. |
| Is there any difference in terms of emissions between a Euro V vehicle and a Euro V incentive? |
| No - We have known the emission levels required for Euro 5 since 2006, and our Euro 5 incentive solutions meet these levels: 0.02 g/kWh for particles and 2 g/kWh for NOx. |
| What is SCR technology? |
| #################################################################################################################### |
| Does SCR technology require any specific maintenance? |
| SCR technology is designed to last throughout a vehicle’s entire operating life and does not require any specific maintenance. It therefore has no impact on the vehicle’s servicing and oil change frequency. |
| What is AdBlue? |
| #################################################################################################################### |
| Can AdBlue freeze? |
| Yes - AdBlue freezes from -11.5°C as it is a solution made up of 68.5% water. This is why the AdBlue injection system is fitted with a heating device. |
| Important to know: |
| Car manufacturers are beginning to adopt AdBlue, which should lead to even more innovations and wider availability in service stations. |
| Long Distance |
| Renault Trucks has a complete Long Distance package that is perfect for the needs of national and international transport: for hauliers, operating costs are controlled and for drivers, the comfort of life on board and driving pleasure have come together. |
