Paramount helps truckers with fuel savings

No wonder UK truckers have been staging protests. Escalating fuel costs, green zone charges, increasing competition from foreign hauliers etc – something has to give. Well, valuable help is now at hand from renowned tuners Paramount Performance regarding fuel costs. No, they can’t reduce the price of fuel, but then can retune most turbo diesels to run more economically – up to 20 per cent in many cases!

Paramount built their name on tuning performance cars for more power, but are increasingly required to use their renowned engine management skills to make turbo diesel engines run more economically. By using proven ‘plug and play’ economy devices or engine remapping techniques, they can deliver savings of up to 20 per cent for the majority trucks, vans and taxis, plus even tractors, excavators and other farm and industrial machinery – in fact just about anything powered by a turbo diesel engine.

Said Paramount’s Managing Director Paul Busby, “In the current climate, reducing fuel consumption by even a few per cent can create huge annual savings across a fleet of trucks or vans. The relatively modest initial outlay of a few hundred pounds per conversion can therefore be recouped in no time at all.

“In many cases we can dramatically reduce consumption while still providing an increase in power – the ‘cake and eat it’ conversion! For example, earlier this year we modified a Volvo F12 tractor unit, achieving an increase in power and better driveability on top of a reduction in consumption from 4.2mpg to 6.7mpg – an improvement of nearly 60 per cent!”

Paramount’s plug and play economy units and remapping services for turbo diesel commercial vehicles start at £299 plus VAT and come with a money back guarantee. The plug and play units can be readily transferred to another vehicle of the same type, making it possible to amortise the initial investment over a longer period.
