Volvo: New I-See cuts haulage firms' fuel bills
GOTEBORG, Sweden, Jun 27, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Regulatory News:
Volvo (STO:VOLVA)(STO:VOLVB):
The truck industry is searching high and low for solutions that cut fuel consumption. One method is to use the vehicle's kinetic energy to propel the truck. Now Volvo Group under the brand Volvo has developed I-See, which operates like an autopilot and takes over gearchanging and utilises gradients to save fuel.
Kinetic energy is the mechanical work needed to reduce an object's speed to zero. When an object in motion is slowed down, its kinetic energy has to be transformed into some other form of energy. When a vehicle brakes, its kinetic energy is converted into heat. Many manufacturers in the automotive world are now examining solutions for harnessing kinetic energy instead of releasing it as surplus heat.
