Description

Zhifa Yang and four colleagues published an engineering study in two thousand twenty-four on fuel saving in mixed truck platoons. Trucks of different axle counts brake differently, so a platoon model allowing uneven spacing was built. Airflow simulations and fuel calculations followed for many orderings.

In three-truck mixed platoons, one arrangement clearly saved most fuel while another saved least. For four-truck platoons of several compositions, the best orderings consistently placed the three-axle truck first and the six-axle last. The authors tabulate the winning sequences for each fleet mix. They offer formation rules as a foundation for cutting freight fuel use and emissions.
