Objective
100
Annual fuel use (in litres)
= +
annual distance fraction of city fuel
Travelled (km) X Highway X consumption
driving rating (L/100 km)
100
Estimated annual fuel use and fuel cost are based on an annual driving distance of 20,000 km
with a mix of 55 percent city driving and 45 percent highway driving.
Mileage Reimbursement Rates
● @ KK Security ??
● @ IAL-U; UGX. 1,500/= per Kilometer
● V-Power
- enhanced engine performance along with
increased engine protection, for more
consistent operation and engine longevity.
● Unleaded
When burnt in engines, this petrol/diesel does
not give off toxic fumes, as leaded petrol does.
● Normal
2. The Environment
● Our lifestyle is producing more and more greenhouse
gas emissions. Scientific research predicts that rising
temperatures caused by increased levels of greenhouse
gases will harm humans, plants and animals by
changing weather patterns and raising sea levels.
● You can help reduce these emissions by choosing the
most fuel efficient car to meet your needs and driving it
in a fuel efficient manner.
● Motor vehicles are a major contributor to air pollution in
allover the world, and as fleet managers we have a
responsibility to make every effort to reduce the output
of harmful greenhouse gases.
Tips for Saving Fuel
● 1. Plan Your Trips
Plan to do a number of errands in one trip rather than
several trips and save both time and fuel. Avoid peak-
hour traffic, hard accelerating and heavy braking as
they all waste fuel. Driving smoothly and avoiding
stop-start traffic saves fuel and up to 30 per cent of
greenhouse emissions.
● 2. Avoid Short Car Trips By Walking or Cycling
Walking or cycling is good exercise and saves over a
quarter of a kilogram of greenhouse gas per kilometre
of car driving it replaces.
● 3. Service Your Car Regularly
Keep your car well tuned and reduce greenhouse gases by
up to 15 per cent through fuel savings.
● 4. Select The Right Gear
Change up through the gears and into top gear as soon as
possible without accelerating harder than necessary. Driving
in a gear lower than you need wastes fuel; so does letting the
engine labour in top gear on hills and corners. Automatic
transmissions will shift up more quickly and smoothly if you
ease back slightly on the accelerator once the car gathers
momentum.
● 5. Speed Kills Economy
High speeds result in high fuel consumption. At 110 km/h
your car uses up to 25 per cent more fuel than it would
cruising at 90 km/h. On the open road, drive within the posted
speed limits.
● 6. Stopping and Braking
Resting your foot on the brake or driving with the
hand-brake on wastes fuel, increases brake wear
and decreases braking efficiency.
Rather than idle for lengthy periods it is more fuel
efficient to switch off and then restart your engine
when necessary.
● 7. Filling Up
Filling past the first click of the fuel nozzle means
fuel can be spilt or lost through the overflow pipe
when you accelerate or go around corners.
A properly fitting petrol cap also saves fuel by
minimising evaporation of petrol.
● 8. Look After Your Car's Tyres
Inflate your car's tyres to the pressure range
recommended by the manufacturer for the use of the
car, and make sure your wheels are properly aligned.
Looking after your tyres will not only reduce your fuel
consumption it will also extend tyre life and improve
handling.
● 9. Use Air Conditioning Sparingly
Air conditioners can use about 10 per cent extra fuel.
●10. Travel Light
The more a car carries the more fuel it uses; an extra
50 kg of weight can increase your fuel bill by two per
cent. Anything fixed to the outside of the car
increases wind resistance and fuel consumption.
Maintenance and Repairs
Regular maintenance will contribute to the
reliable and economical use of your motor
vehicles and could contribute to driver
safety.
Assymetric pattern:-
● Pressure The sides differ in pattern
to give different
functionality, the inside
● Tire design offers better cornering
traction while the outside
is designed to channel
water away.
Block shape:-
The grooves are very
small the tread pattern is
very tight and close.
Rarely used. Were
common in the 90s.
ZigZag shape:-
A classic tread design for
a van. Very successful in
commercial usage
because of the grooves
that are cut in a zigzag.
Maintenance Tips
Checks performed between scheduled services reduce the chances of your vehicle breaking
down. Try to establish a regular checking procedure, it need not be long and time consuming,
just a few minutes each week if your vehicle is being driven under normal conditions.
● Radiator: When the radiator is cold, check that the coolant level is within the range indicated
on the overflow reservoir.
● Engine Oil: The oil level should preferably be checked when the engine is cold and not
running and the vehicle is standing on a level surface. Wipe the dipstick and re-insert fully
before checking.
● Tyres: Ensure tyres are inflated according to manufacturer's recommendations. Check for
wear and irregularities.
● Lights: Check the operation of all lights, indicators and instruments. If a trailer is used
remember to check its brake lights and indicators are operating.
● Windscreen Washer Fluid: Top up the reservoir with clean water.
● Battery: If your battery is of the serviceable type ensure fluids are topped up to
recommended levels. Refer to the owner's manual for the correct procedure.
● Leaks: Observe the area where your vehicle has been parked to check for oil or other leaks.
If you find any leaks, the vehicle should be returned to a servicing agent for inspection.
Safety
● All Material Damage: i.e. the risk of accidental loss, fire and
theft, including damage caused by fold, hurricane storm and
tempest, earthquake, riots, strikes and civil commotions and
malicious damage.
● Windscreen Extension: i.e. Reimbursement of costs incurred
to replace or repair windscreen following damage or loss
other than involving total loss of the vehicle.
● Third Party Liability: i.e. compensation to third parties for
bodily injury or death caused by the use of your motor
vehicles as required by statute.
