Tony's Fine Foods Demos Autoventions' Fuel Saving Tech

One of the Largest Refrigerated Carriers in the US demo'd Autoventions DieselMaxx Fuel Saver

With their exceptional customer service and willingness to use innovations to improve delivery, Tony’s Fine Foods has grown to be one of the largest privately owned distributors of refrigerated food products. 

Starting nearly a hundred years ago, Tony’s Fine Foods has a tradition of pushing the envelope to continuously improve customer service and exceed their clients expectations, including by their smart approach to freight logistics. 

Proof is in the Data

On a bright, pleasant Spring morning, Autoventions' Think Tank of Big Brains traveled to Sacramento, California to launch a pilot program for the West Coast-based carrier.

The approach was to install DieselMaxx onto one of Tony’s Fine Foods' busiest delivery vehicles - a massive 18-wheeler that followed the same route every day with the same driver and almost identical payloads.

As a pilot project, the team plans to compare the "Demo Truck" with other vehicles of similar size, routes, and needs to determine if the test truck will save them money on fuel costs.

For a 30-day period, the truck will be driven normally and then use fuel consumption data to compare it to the other 1,100 trucks in Tony’s Fine Foods' fleet. 

The truck will transport refrigerated deli, bakery, food service, and specialty items.

Then, the company reviewed fuel consumption for the 30-day period.

Stay tuned to find out how the pilot project went (HINT: it goes extremely well!).
