Diesel Trucks
Number1oil can show you
how to eliminate oil changes, get better mileage, better
protect your engine, save money and protect the environment all
at the same time. The use of superior Amsoil Diesel Oil and
Amsoil's unique by-pass filtration systems are the reason you
will be able to accomplish this.
Check out the information supplied on this web site and many
of your questions will be answered. The by-pass filtration
system filters your oil down to the one micron particle size
ever 10 minutes while driving. This means you have
reconstituted you oil quality continuously while driving. You
replace the full flow filter every 25,000 miles and the by-pass
filter every 60,000 miles. The filter change is easy and only a
top off is required.

You are not replacing the full sump capacity of oil and you
are not contributing to the waste oil problem and destruction
of the environment. You can also send a small vial of oil to
Oil Analysers for evaluation. Its just like a blood test where
the doctor can tell you the condition of your vital organs.

Keep your truck on the road with less maintenance and fewer
oil changes with less time lost for service stops. You can also
carry a couple of filters with you and take just 10 minutes to
change them while you are on the road. This allows you to get
back to your home base where you know the people that can
service your truck when it needs some other maintenance ie,
brakes, lights, tires etc.

Wal-Mart tests new hybrid
trucks, alternative fuels

Wal-Mart
tests new hybrid
trucks
|
Wal-Mart
Stores, Inc. announced it will test two new
types of heavy-duty commercial hybrid trucks
and two different alternatively fueled
heavy-duty trucks as a part of the company’s
efforts to build on its progress in developing
a more sustainable trucking fleet.
The new trucks include:
• A full-propulsion ArvinMeritor hybrid
drivetrain that initially will operate in the
Detroit area. This dual-mode diesel-electric
hybrid is believed to be the first vehicle of
its type. The dual-mode hybrid drivetrain
combines both mechanical and electrical
propulsion systems. Under 48 miles-per-hour,
the vehicle propulsion is delivered entirely
through an electric motor with power from
lithium ion batteries. As the vehicle
approaches highway speed, the drivetrain phases
to a diesel-powered system with the electric
motor providing power only as required;
• Fifteen trucks operating in Buckeye, Ariz.
distribution center near Phoenix, will be
converted to run on Reclaimed Grease Fuel, made
with the waste brown cooking grease from
Walmart stores. In addition, the remaining
trucks located in the Buckeye distribution
center will operate on an 80/20 blend of
biodiesel made of reclaimed yellow waste
grease;
• Five Peterbilt Model 386 heavy-duty hybrid
trucks with diesel-electric hybrid power
systems developed by Eaton Corporation and
Paccar, that will be based in Dallas, Houston,
Apple Valley, Calif., Atlanta and the
Washington/Baltimore regions and;
• Four Peterbilt Model 386 trucks and one yard
truck, which operates only on the distribution
center property, will operate on liquid natural
gas. These trucks are part of a partnership
with the Mojave Air Quality Management District
and will operate out of the distribution center
in Southern California.
“In order to meet our goal of doubling our
fleet efficiency, we are taking an active role
in the development of these technologies,” said
Chris Sultemeier, senior vice president of
transportation for Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. “We
look forward to determining if these
technologies will help reduce our environmental
footprint, are viable for our business and
provide a return on investment.”
Wal-Mart achieved more than a 25 percent
increase in efficiency within its private fleet
between 2005 and 2008, surpassing one of the
company’s stated sustainability goals. By
reaching this goal, Wal-Mart has been able to
reduce its carbon dioxide emissions and its
fuel use. This goal was reached by using a
combination of new, innovative technologies,
better delivery routes and by loading its
trailers more efficiently. Now, the company is
working toward its goal of doubling its fleet
efficiency by 2015, from its 2005 baseline.
Part of this pilot program is to determine if
alternatively fueled trucks can help move
Wal-Mart toward that goal in addition to
reducing environmental impacts.
Wal-Mart has actively engaged several suppliers
to develop and test these new technologies.
This includes ArvinMeritor, Eaton, Peterbilt
and International as well as smaller companies.
Wal-Mart will test these new technologies
throughout 2009.
