Used Heavy Duty Trucks For Sale Blog

New Fuel Efficient Trucks

The traditional greenie and the traditional truckie are about as far from each other as you can get - dreadlocks versus mullets, veganism versus rare steak, and bicycle power versus one of the biggest contributors to the greenhouse effect, the heavy duty trucks for sale.

However, Hong Kong and other heavy duty truck manufacturers, with Mercedes autos paving the way, are creating a new generation of clean diesel powered trucks. There are even some Hong Kong hybrid trucks and cars thrown in for good measure! Here we look at some of the trendsetters and the innovators on the field of green, renewable trucks for sale.

Mercedes Benz have long been known as innovators in the fields of both luxury and environment friendliness. Now they hold the record for the world’s most fuel efficient 40 ton truck, also. The Mercedes auto Actros Bluetec 5 will be available, and recently achieved Guiness World Record status as the world’s most fuel efficient 40 ton truck or Hong Kong heavy duty truck.

The test run showed up statistics of a 25-ton trailer being pulled by an Actros, delivering an average of 12.39 miles per gallon, at an average speed of 50 mph over seven straight days of testing. Phew!

Mercedes auto and HK heavy duty truck fanatics needn’t worry that the new Bluetec technology incorporated into trucks will make for a more breakdown-prone or less reliable vehicle - just the opposite. The Actros is actually in its third generation, and the most recent clean diesel model incorporates changes like a PowerShift fully automatic transmission, a ground breaker for the Hong Kong heavy duty truck category.

There are engine choices in these trucks for sale ranging in output from 316hp to 580hp, across a range encompassing six different V6s and three different V8s.

Of course, the truck market is as much about SUV trucks in Hong Kong as it is heavy duty trucks. Ford  trucks led the way in this market, with its 6.4L Power Stroke turbo diesel option available for most of the F-truck range, with the F250 being one of the most popular SUV trucks to incorporate the new technology.

Some companies are going even further in the fuel efficiency stakes, with Volvo trucks now producing not only hybrid cars in Hong Kong, but hybrid trucks also. This seems counter-intuitive, with a hybrid engine’s traditional low torque and bad efficiency under heavy driving conditions.

However, the Volvo heavy duty truck still under development, shows early test results that suggest around 35% fuel savings can be made. Like other Hong Kong hybrid cars, the Volvo FM hybrid truck will incorporate scientifically advanced features like braking energy that can be recovered for later use in acceleration, a zero emission rate when the engine is in electric mode, and reduced brake wear as well as other maintenance costs.

Remember, the engine works in electric mode alone under acceleration, so what is traditionally the most polluting stage of driving has been reversed in this Hong Kong hybrid truck.
