ECRL certifies that the fuel and emissions savings from this product were as described in the report. ECRL examined the data from 2 trucks with Blackburn Energy’s RelGen® installed. The first use case was for a truck with a power liftgate. The second use case was for a long-haul sleeper cab. Both trucks were in service with their respective fleets and were used without regard to the presence of RelGen. This study informs fleet owners about the actual performance of the technology as they might use it to show them their potential savings and to help them identify fuel savings opportunities that can be achieved with the addition of RelGen on their trucks.    Want to learn how your fleet can save fuel using RelGen?
