What are the Benefits of Truck Tuning?

Truck ECU tuning, when specified for the vehicle and its intended operating conditions, is a recognised fleet practice. It can improve torque delivery and drivability; fuel-economy results vary with the model, load, route and driving style. ECUFLASH reviews each vehicle before recommending any changes.

Vehicle remapping involves accessing the engine and altering it to improve the vehicle's performance, allowing for more power and better handling of the vehicle. If you have a fleet of trucks and you are considering engine tuning, please read our latest article below.

 

Increased Performance and Torque

Like with all vehicles that have their engine tuned, trucks can enjoy better performance and torque. ECU remapping rewrites the code within your engine so that functions can be customised. It allows for more speed and better performance overall. By turning towards truck tuning, you can achieve up to 20% more BHP (Brake Horsepower), which leads to better fuel economy in long term...

Speed-limiter requirements vary by vehicle category, weight, intended use and the applicable regulations. ECUFLASH does not alter a limiter that is required for UK-road use; we confirm the vehicle's requirements before discussing any programming.

 

Better Fuel Economy

It isn't often heard of, but tuning a truck can actually improve fuel economy. This not only helps your business save money, but can actually benefit the environment too. The fuel economy can be improved by around 8-15%, depending on the model of your truck. This can save you a great amount of money, which is perfect for any business. With fuel prices on the increase, it's better to help your business out now rather than later.

Truck tuning also allows you to cut down on your carbon footprint, as less fuel is being used. By easing up on the accelerator, you can save yourself both money and gas emissions, giving you the best of both worlds.

The Legalities: Truck Tuning

Road-going trucks must retain required safety and emissions equipment. ECUFLASH does not remove or disable emissions-control systems on vehicles used on UK roads. Work for off-road, competition or export use is considered only where it is lawful and the intended use has been confirmed.
