PepsiCo Partners with STEMCO for Improved Fleet Aerodynamics and Fuel Efficiency

April 30, 2018
No Comments

LONGVIEW, Texas (April 30, 2018) - STEMCO Products Inc. has announced that PepsiCo will update 1,600 trailers in the company's fleet with STEMCO TrailerTail and EcoSkirt products. Through this initiative, PepsiCo aims to improve the fuel economy of its fleet of trucks and trailers and make less of an impact on the environment.

The STEMCO TrailerTail Trident is SAE-certified to deliver 5.09% fuel efficiency gains at 65 mph based on SAE Type II testing and is validated by the U.S. EPA. It also improves safety by helping stabilize trailers, reduce road spray and improve visibility for the driver.

To further improve fuel efficiency, the STEMCO EcoSkirt reduces drag under the trailer where air hits the trailer's rear axles. By combining EcoSkirt with the STEMCO TrailerTail, fleets can achieve 8-12% fuel savings.

"These trailer skirts and TrailerTail will help us support PepsiCo's 2025 Performance with Purpose agenda, specifically the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20%," said Keshav Sondhi, PepsiCo director - Fleet Engineering and Sustainability. "This investment in our fleet helps us ensure that we are reducing our impact on the environment while also getting our products into our customers hands as efficiently as possible."

"We appreciate PepsiCo's commitment to fuel efficiency, and we're honored to help them achieve their goals," said Drake Piper, STEMCO's vice president/general manager for Innovative Tire and Mileage Solutions (ITMS) with products including aerodynamic devices, tire pressure monitoring, and automatic tire inflation. "As we partner with PepsiCo, we have been impressed with their desire to improve the environment. We also expect this partnership to successfully increase PepsiCo's efficiency and optimize their fleet operations."
