Webinar: Using On-Road and Laboratory Testing to Evaluate Fleet Tire Options for Fuel Efficiency


Original run date: March 18, 2015 | download below > 

This webinar covers two methods that can be used to evaluate multiple tire options for fuel efficiency: road fuel tests and laboratory rolling resistance testing. Dustin Stricker, Maintenance Manager for R.E. West Transportation begins the discussion with a short case study of a road fuel test conducted by his fleet. Madhura Rajapakshe, R&D Test Engineer at Smithers, gives an overview of rolling resistance testing and how it measures the values needed to develop conclusions from the data.

The webinar covers:

  • Comparisons of on-road testing vs lab rolling resistance testing
  • Reasons for conducting these tests
  • The basics of rolling resistance testing
  • Evaluating the data
  • Calculating the fuel savings
