Could an XL Service Body help save with vehicle fuel economy?

0

Yes! Fuel prices today are a major expense regardless of which vehicle you drive, however the XL Service Body fitted to a normal cab chassis can help you save fuel by presenting a minimal frontal area – imagine running down the road with a 2400 x 1200 piece of ply like a sail! It would be quite difficult especially if the ply doubled in size or you tried running faster! A large frontal area increases drag which severely affects fuel economy. Ladder racks and ladders can also affect the drag coefficient, so today you really need to think about the equipment you carry.
