FedEx Freight Presented by: Dennis Beal Vice President – Physical Assets - FXFS
First Units Delivered Jan, 2003Our Goal – Test Everything as quickly as possible.
Current Population TOTAL TRACTOR FLEET 9,130 TOTAL MILES RUN PER DAY 2,300,000 TOTAL POST OCTOBER 2002 ENGINES 758
Mileage Ranges • TOTAL MILES RUN ON COMPLIANT ENGINES 29,020,849 • LOWEST MILEAGES 35,000 • HIGHEST MILEAGES 175,000
Fuel MPG Experience • INITIAL DECLINE 15% • IMPROVED 4% AT 50,000 MILES • DECLINED AGAIN AT 70,000 MILES (3% TO 4%)
TO IMPROVE, MANUFACTURERS HAVE TRIED: • COMPUTER MAPPING CHANGES • DIFFERENT INJECTORS • VARIOUS DIFFERENTIAL RATIOS • VARIOUS HORSEPOWER SETTINGS
History of Mechanical Issues • CAMSHAFT FAILURES • SENSOR FAILURES • EXHAUST COOLER FAILURES • EGR VALVE FAILURES • INJECTOR FAILURES
CHANGES TO PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE • OIL DRAIN INTERVALS- OUR STANDARD IS 36,000 MILES. HAD TO REDUCE FOR A FEW ENGINES, BUT NOT ALL • 100% OIL ANALYSIS- SOME ENGINES SHOW NO ISSUES • RANDOM COOLANT ANALYSIS-NO ISSUES
Results • NO REAL HORROR STORIES • JUST A LOT OF PAIN AND HIGH COSTS
2007 NEEDS • SUFFICIENT TEST ENGINES AS EARLY IN 2005 AS POSSIBLE • SUFFICIENT ACCESS TO ULTRA LOW SULFUR DIESEL FUEL FOR THESE TEST ENGINES ACROSS THE COUNTRY • SOME FORM OF RELIEF FROM THE EXTREME COST INCREASES (I.E. TAX CREDITS)
Thank You, Dennis Beal Vice President – Physical Assets FedExFreight System
