DAF has recently announced their latest \u2018green logistics\u2019 innovation \u2013 a steered pusher axle for new generation 6&#215;2 tractors and rigids. They have made use of new technology for hydraulic systems to create an electric hydraulic steering system which not only is better for the environment, but can hold higher payloads, has a lighter axle weight, and a 0.3% gain in fuel efficiency. The steering arms and auxiliary drop arm are replaced by an electronically-controlled steering pump unit, and the electric steering system calculates optimal steering which allows for precise, smooth steering \u2013 a trucker\u2019s dream!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\">This innovation is yet another great technological development for the HGV industry, and we will hopefully start to see these improvements implemented in all trucks worldwide very soon. This year we expect to see more developments for HGVs as the government\u2019s \u2018Net Zero\u2019 scheme is entering its \u2018transition phase\u2019 with companies having to disclose their proposal climate transition plans from 2023. The scheme plans to reduce carbon emissions by 80% for the 2050 deadline and plans for the HGV\/LGV and logistics industry will introduce sales of new non-zero emission HGVs to replace the manufacturing of older HGVs that don\u2019t align with this scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\">If you\u2019re looking to start implementing changes to make your truck fuel efficient and ready in time for the Net Zero scheme, here are some quick tips to help you get started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Getting a good pair of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truckspares365.co.uk\/parts\/body-panels\/wind-deflector.html\">wind deflectors<\/a> mounted onto your cab can lead to better aerodynamics as they are placed at the sides which \u2018deflects\u2019 the wind. These can help you to use less fuel as there\u2019s less wind resistance and is therefore fuel efficient.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Minimize your rolling resistance by ensuring your wheels are aligned properly, and your axle has secure components so that it isn\u2019t dragging on the road. Misaligned axles can happen from worn studs, nuts, or bearings. High quality <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truckspares365.co.uk\/parts\/axle-components.html\">axle components<\/a> are available on our site for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truckspares365.co.uk\/parts\/axle-components.html?vehicle_brand=5692\">DAF brand<\/a>, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truckspares365.co.uk\/parts\/axle-components.html?vehicle_brand=5698\">Leyland DAF<\/a>, and more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\">If you possess a new diesel truck, then you\u2019re already reducing harmful emissions by using the required AdBlue fuel. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truckspares365.co.uk\/parts\/body-parts\/ad-blue-system\/ad-blue-caps.html\">AdBlue<\/a> helps with fuel efficiency as it consumes less fuel, and it also adheres to government regulations in accordance with the Net Zero requirements \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truckspares365.co.uk\/hub\/facts-about-adblue\/\">you can read more about the facts and benefits of AdBlue on our blog post.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\"><em>Wanting to keep up with the innovative minds of DAF?
