Rolling resistance

Rolling resistance
MAN Support
ProfiDrive®
Rolling resistance depends on:

current road speed;
weight of vehicle;
type of tyres, tread pattern. air pressure;
steering geometry / track setting;
condition of road / road surface
condition of brake system

Rolling resistance
MAN Support
ProfiDrive®
Higher consumption of up to a few liters

on 100 km can be caused by:
defective wheel bearings;
incorrect track setting;
brake shoes which do not release
completely;
incorrect tyre pressure
Extra fuel consumption due to tyre pressure:
2 bar underpressure in tyres in a 40 t road train leads to about 1.5 litres more fuel per 100 km

Rolling resistance
MAN Support
ProfiDrive®
You can keep rolling resistance down by:
ensuring that you have the right tyres for the job;
watching the rolling behaviour and checking the tyre
wear pattern (correct track setting);
checking the rims for excessive heat development
(indicates that brake shoes are sticking);
checking the tyre pressure at regular intervals
(with tyres cold)

Tyre pressure

Tyre pressure and service life

Difference from theService ProfiDrive®
correct pressure life
Tyre pressure too high
Tyre pressure too low

Remember:
If the tyre pressure is too low there is a risk that the tyres catch fire!
Just 0.3 bar too little tyre pressure can lead to the tyres heating
up to over 100° C.

Drag

Drag
MAN Support
ProfiDrive®
Drag depends on:

Road speed;
Size of vehicle (frontal area, body, loads
transported);
Vehicle shape (cw value);
Wind direction and wind strength.

Drag
MAN Support
ProfiDrive®
The following have an unfavourable influence on drag:

high road speeds; as speed increases drag is squared;
projecting parts of vehicle or load;
loose or poorly lashed tarpaulins.

Drag
MAN Support
ProfiDrive®
You can keep drag down by:
adjusting tarpaulin frames (if possible) to the lowest setting;

pulling tarpaulins tight and lashing them securely;
fitting a roof spoiler and adjusting it correctly
(this improves airflow, reduces fuel consumption and decreases the noise level).

Acceleration resistance

MAN Support
ProfiDrive®
Acceleration resistance depends on:

how fast you accelerate your truck;
the actual gross weight of the truck.

MAN Support
ProfiDrive®
Extra consumption is caused by:

unnecessary acceleration. e.g.
before red traffic lights;
driving too close to the man in front,
resulting in frequent braking and
accelerating;
unnecessary gearshifts, especially on
uphills; any interruption of tractive
power leads to a reduction in speed.

MAN Support
ProfiDrive®
Driving with foresight:

Avoid unnecessary acceleration;
Exploit momentum (keeping speed within statutory limits );
Use knowledge of the route to drive with
foresight;
Observe traffic far ahead;
Keep far enough away from vehicles in
front;
Drive smoothly and with concentration;
Brake rationally;
Adjust driving style to changing situations at an early
stage;
Use cruise control or speed limiter rationally;
switch them off if necessary.

Climbing resistance

Climbing resistance
MAN Support
ProfiDrive®
Climbing resistance depends on:
Gradient;
Gross vehicle weight

Climbing resistance
MAN Support
ProfiDrive®
Extra consumption results if:

momentum from downhill or driving on the flat
is not exploited;
the driver does not shift down in good time;
gears are changed frequently (vehicle loses
speed with every gearshift);
acceleration does not stop before vehicle
reaches top of a hill.

Climbing resistance
MAN Support
ProfiDrive®
You can keep the effects of climbing resistance

within limits if you:
engage a gear suitable for the gradient in good
time;
shift as little as possible when driving uphill;
select the correct engine speed range;
accelerate in good time before reaching the
bottom of a downhill;
exploit downhill momentum (keep speed within
statutory limits );
use cruise control or speed limiter rationally;
switch them off if necessary.
Remember :
Every interruption of traction leads to a loss of speed

Lack of air in fuel combustion
MAN Support
ProfiDrive®
Too little air in the fuel-air mixture leads to incomplete combustion. In this context one talks about a rich
mixture.
Features of a mixture that is too rich:

Black smoke during fuel combustion
Low engine output
Possible reason for lack of air in fuel combustion:

Clogged air filter;
Boost pressure too low because charge-air pipe is leaking;
Fuel injection quantity too high;
Valve clearance incorrectly set;
Exhaust butterfly valve not fully open;
Incidentally :
1 liter diesel fuel requires, depending on supercharging, between 10,000 and 20,000 liters of air for
combustion

Air surplus in fuel combustion
MAN Support
ProfiDrive®
Too much air in the fuel-air mixture leads to non-utilisation of the available air capacity. In this context one
talks about a lean mixture.
Features of a mixture that is too lean :

Engine power drop
Possible reason for air surplus in fuel combustion:

Clogged fuel filter;
Injection quantity too low;
Defective supply pump
Leaking fuel lines.

MAN Support
ProfiDrive®
Extra fuel consumption of up to several liters can be saused by:

clogged air and fuel filters;
defective or incorrectly tuned injection system;
too viscous oils and too high an oil level in engine, gearbox, differentials and
axle reduction gearing;
brakes which do not release completely
defective wheel bearings

Starting: ProfiDrive®
Do not accelerate during cold-starting

(see operator's manual);
If possible, move off immediately after starting;
Do not warm up engine when vehicle is stationary.
Accelerating:
Avoid fast starts and high engine speeds.
Shifting:
Shift up to next highest or next-next highest gear in good time.
Rev up only with non-synchronised gearboxes.
Use momentum on downhill's.

Economy and safety ...
MAN Support
ProfiDrive®
Watch to see whether engine reaches operating

temperature quickly.
Watch out for smoke from the engine.
Drive looking ahead, briskly and smoothly.
Listen to traffic news.
Let the engine pull (see operator's manual).
Exploit traffic light coordination.
Switch off engine during longer stops at traffic lights

and level crossings.
Drive with needle in green sector of rev. counter

(economical speed range).

MAN Support
ProfiDrive®
Stopping:
Brake sensitively.
Switch off engine only when it is idling without accelerating as you do so.
When loading/unloading the vehicle always switch off the engine – also for
environmental reasons.
Breaks:
When vehicle is stationary do not heat the cab with the vehicle engine. Use the
auxiliary heater (if fitted).
Evaluate tachograph recordings.
Check fuel consumption regularly.
Have the vehicle serviced regularly in MAN workshops.
