Fitting Autokontrol road speed controls results in real savings, both in terms of fuel and CO2.
Consider the amazing results from this speed control trial in 2014/15. A major UK utility company completed extensive tests on a Autokontrol ‘Drive by Wire’ system. The speed was set at 70mph. The vehicle used was a Peugeot Partner, travelling on average 1200 miles per month. This particular vehicle was chosen because of the wide variety of journeys it undertook, from in-town work to highway travel. The 3-month average fuel performance increased from 28.41 MPG in winter 2014 to 40.58 MPG in spring 2015. The result clearly showed a substantial fuel saving of over 25%, and that the cost of the speed limiter would be repaid within 4 months.
