My MicroBlue experience

Yip , now cabovers are the most fuel efficient.

 

You will need to call them to get specific pricing on what you want done because a complete job has a lot of variables from inframes to compressors to anything metal to metal friction related parts. They have also changed some things to do with bearings and can included the highly recommended Stemco locking nuts that is suppose to make installation alot easier to get right.

 

How about some engine specs and what kind of tractor?

Not in the USA.

 

In the world.

This is about 12,22 mpg (American gallon).
88 000lbs
50mph ave.
Over 8125 miles.
These are true miles not odometer miles that often show 5 to 10% higher mpg due to over reading.
This was 3 or 4 years back.
I believe the Scania compound turbo engine is better than this.

 

That Air Flow Truck that recently went coast to coast averaged 13.4 miles per gallon recently.

 

Dice,

Was that truck grossing. What were the spc's on the air flow truck??

KH

 

And they said classics where long nose or long hoods, look at that.

 

That's pretty impressive.

It is however not a production truck you can go out and buy like the COE that holds the record.
If you look at the link , the cab design they predict in the future to give the best MPG looks like a COE.
Dice what do you recon you would get with a trailer like that hooked up?
