Aerodynamics
Equipment Built with Efficiency In Mind
Keeping advanced aerodynamics in mind is crucial for fuel efficiency is crucial for optimal equipment performance. Bay and Bay consistently invests in new tractors and trailers to achieve lower emissions with improved fuel efficiency. Bay and Bay equips all new trucks with automatic tire inflation systems. These system have the potential to save 100 gallons of fuel annually and reduce tire wear and maintenance while eliminating 1 metric ton of carbon dioxide.
Our SmartWay Verified Aerodynamic Equipment save fuel by minimizing aerodynamic drag and maintaining smoother air flow. Tractor aerodynamics are improved by adding integrated roof fairings, cab extenders, side fairings, and aerodynamic bumpers. Trailer aerodynamic enhancements include the EDGE TopKit, a EPA SmartWay® Verified and C.A.R.B. Compliant solution.
Education
A Team Effort
Drivers at Bay & Bay Transportation receive ongoing training for reducing fuel consumption to further optimize fuel consumption and reduce emissions.
In recent years we have increased our fleet MPG by .50, reduced our idle 4%, and increased the use of cruise by 10% fleet wide.
Did you know: An Idling truck burns nearly 0.8 gallons of diesel fuel per hour?
Bay and Bay has invested in auxiliary power units that provide electricity to the cab, direct-fired heaters and programmable automatic engine shut-off systems. This reduction in unnecessary idling saves fuel costs, reduces air pollution, and cuts more than 9 metric tons of carbon dioxide per truck annually.
