Traknet signed a trial with the Israel Defense Forces to implement a fuel converter (Trucknet Smart Catalyst) Designed to reduce fuel consumption and pollutant emissions in diesel engines. The company announced that following an experiment to reduce emissions and fuel consumption in the IDF vehicle fleet using the integrated catalytic accessory marketed by the company (Catalyst Smart Trucknet) The results showed, as provided to her by the laboratory, an average fuel consumption saving of about 7%. The company also announced that following the results of the test, the IDF intends to conduct a follow-up test in field conditions. It will be clarified that at this stage the company cannot evaluate the results of the field test. It will also be clarified that there is no commitment by the IDF to purchase the catalytic device even if the experiment is successful.
According to Hanan Friedman, Tarkant CEO, “I am happy and welcome the good results, especially in a time of energy crisis and a jump in fuel costs. The significance of these results is important both due to the system’s ability to reduce diesel consumption and the resulting reduction in polluting emissions, up to a reduction of approximately 15%. I am satisfied that the results support our first assumptions and from this we can deduce the great potential that exists. In Israel alone, there are 250,000 heavy vehicles that represent a potential for us due to being wasteful fuel consumers and thus, tens of millions of trucks moving throughout Europe and the USA and that is where we are aiming.’
The company stated that “the savings created according to the experiment, in relation to the price of the unit, which is $4,000 per consumer, puts the return on the investment (ROI) for an extremely short time, something that will allow Traknet to offer its solution as an immediate, efficient, simple to install and cheap solution for large vehicle fleets, and to significantly increase its revenues in the future.
As a reminder, following the strategic cooperation and connecting the device to Trakant’s emissions calculator and receiving exclusivity in Israel, Europe, the USA and the Gulf countries, with Wash The American company Traknet began an experiment with the IDF vehicle fleet in order to test the device’s effect Trucknet Smart Catalyst, Designed to reduce fuel consumption and pollutant emissions in diesel engines, on the body’s vehicles, as part of its ambition to advance in the use of new technologies.
The IDF vehicle fleet currently consumes about 100 million liters of diesel per year. The official diesel price today is NIS 9.38 per liter, and therefore, according to the results of the experiment, this is a potential saving of tens of millions of NIS per year.
