You may have heard second hand about our revolutionary fuel saving splash guards, but here’s a recap of their key advantages…
Tough
Molded of DuPont Zytel nylon, Eco-flaps® are warranted for a full year of use. Many of our 180 fleet customers are deep into their second or third year of use with their original flaps. Winter weather poses no issues to the durability or the performance of these mudflaps, and typical mudflap replacement rates drop dramatically for fleets who switch from conventional flaps to Eco-flaps®.
Solid
Our reputation in the marketplace is solid after carving out more than a two year track record of consistent fuel savings for our customers. Their cumulative experience spans more than 3 billion highway miles, and includes 16 TMC member fleets who are fully operational with Eco-flaps®. Drivers themselves give Eco-flaps high praise, and we have a 100% retention rate of customers from the beginning. Every one of them come back to specify Eco-flaps for their new equipment purchases.
Bold
Barry Andersen has single handedly established the next generation of splash guard design for commercial trucking. For decades no one had brought real innovation to mudflaps, to convert them from a low level expense item to a real safety and savings asset for fleets. We continue to turn heads among commercial transportation aerodynamic experts and win over fleet diehards with the consistency of the fuel savings and durability delivered by Eco-flaps®.
Green
The biggest “green” aspect of Eco-flaps® is the bottom line savings they deliver.
Annual diesel savings per tractor are at least 650 gallons. For most fleets the yearly impact of these savings is equivalent to two free weeks of diesel fuel fleet wide. The investment is minimum and at today's diesel prices is paid back the first month of use. Under warranty that drives an 8–10× return the first year on the fleet investment. For some fleets this can add 20% or more to their bottom line operating profits. In addition, the reduced fuel usage equates to 6–8 tons less CO2 emissions per truck per year. Less diesel, less environmental impact, more profit. The essence of green!
