Fuel Study
The FUSO FE160 DIESEL truck prevailed again, consuming 8 percent less fuel on average than the Hino 155, and 5 percent less than the Isuzu NPR-HD, measured over a mixed course of city, suburban and highway driving. When ECO mode was engaged on the FUSO FE160 DIESEL truck for half the runs (a feature not available on Hino or Isuzu models), the FUSO FE160’s fuel consumption improved to 10 percent less than the Hino 155, and 9 percent less than the Isuzu NPR-HD.
That translates to a 100,000-mile savings in fuel costs for the FUSO FE160 DIESEL truck of $1,476 compared to the Hino 155 and $907 compared to the Isuzu NPR-HD. These savings result when the FUSO is operated half the time in ECO mode, based on a national average diesel fuel price of $2.509 per gallon. If the FE160 DIESEL truck is operated full time in ECO mode, the savings increase to $1,966 and $1,616, respectively.
- *Based on third-party testing by Automotive Testing & Development Services Inc. The test was contracted specifically for the 2017 MY FE160 DIESEL truck to measure effects of new hardware, including the electrically engaged radiator fan and new emissions after-treatment equipment. Competitive models were selected based on readiness and regional commercial availability. Per respective engine emissions certifications from the EPA and CARB (California Air Resources Board), engine power, torque and emissions levels for both the Isuzu and Hino models were equivalent to the latest available for each at the time of testing.
