Case Study
Arriva buses sought to reduce oil consumption in their fleet of passenger buse
CHALLENGES FACED 1. Arriva buses sought to reduce oil consumption in their fleet of passenger buses. Four oil changes a year took the vehicles out of service too often and increased oil costs. 2. Even though mass transport is intrinsically more environmentally friendly than personal vehicles, Arriva was keen to promote an even greener image of itself. SOLUTIONS DELIVERED 1. By fitting an Extended Oil Life System, we were able to show that Arriva’s four oil changes a year could be reduced to one without any detrimental effect on the reliability of the engine. 2. By reducing the number of oil changes, we were able to reduce oil consumption by 75%. where they need to be - on the road. Arriva Technical Director ” Extended Oil Life System LOCAT
