Our team was blown away with how MVT Solutions (MVTS) was able to validate trailer aerodynamics products for us.
Testing with MVTS found us 0.86 MPG in fuel economy improvements and several million dollars in annual profits, which makes it an excellent investment with almost instant payback. That surprised us, considering we have a very modern fleet.
No one else is really doing this in the industry, it’s not SAE testing, or coast-down, or CFD. It’s our own equipment and it’s real fuel economy in a real application.
What impressed us most was that we were able to hire MVT Solutions as an independent 3rd party that produced accurate and reliable results we can make informed decisions with. I wish we did this 5 years ago but it’s never too late to make improvements going forward.
MVTS testing didn’t disrupt operations at all, which was a very nice aspect of doing it on-site. In the past, we’ve participated in other forms of testing but MVTS testing is much more convenient and our people could be more involved and engaged, which they enjoyed.
Overall, this was a very positive experience. It was easy and convenient, our people enjoyed it, and it will save us a lot of money moving forward. We plan to continue using MVT Solutions.
