Truck Fleets, Fuel Efficient and...Walmart?

If you are thinking about buying or leasing a Hino truck, you have probably already factored in your savings at the pump. The cost of fuel is going to continue to rise, and companies, like Walmart, know that fuel efficient transportation is the key to staying ahead of the competition.

Walmart continually edges out the competition by undercutting the competition on pricing, and their recent focus on reducing fuel costs provides insight into the difference that a fuel efficient fleet can make on a company’s bottom line. Walmart is investing in green truck technology in a big way; their wave--Walmart Advanced Vehicle Experience--concept truck hosts a carbon trailer for optimal aerodynamics to reduce drag and increase trailer capacity. On top of that, it’s one of the coolest looking concept trucks we’ve seen.

Walmart’s new eco-friendly approach may may seem like an odd way to do business, as traditionally, environmentally conscious alternatives are not always the most cost effective. When it comes to fuel and transportation costs, however, it’s becoming very clear that reducing these costs are better for the environment and for the bottom line.

Looking at the numbers, Walmart’s sustainability measures saved them approximately $150 million in 2013. While it is on a smaller scale, owning a Hino truck invests in this same sort of business sense. The best part is that saving on fuel economy does not require a huge up-front investment. Hino trucks are affordable, and in addition to Hino’s commitment to the environment, you’re backed by a company who is known for its efficient, reliable performance.
