Fuel efficient trucking with Gelle Transport
Fuel is one of the largest costs in trucking and the main source of its emissions. Improving fuel efficiency benefits customers through lower costs and benefits everyone through cleaner air.
Driving practices
Smooth acceleration, steady speeds, anticipating traffic and limiting idling all reduce fuel use. Our drivers are encouraged to drive in ways that are both safer and more efficient.
Planning and equipment
Route planning that avoids congestion, proper tyre inflation, regular maintenance and aerodynamic features where available all improve miles per gallon. Planning fuller loads means fewer trucks on the road for the same freight.

Fuel Efficiency FAQs
Does speed affect truck fuel efficiency?
Yes. Fuel use increases significantly at higher speeds, so steady, moderate speeds save fuel.
How does idling affect fuel use?
Idling burns fuel without moving freight; reducing it saves fuel and cuts emissions.
Can shippers help improve fuel efficiency?
Yes, by reducing waiting time at docks and consolidating shipments.
