The Challenge
Tri-Pol Enterprises operates a fleet of trucks, where fuel efficiency, engine wear, and overall drivetrain performance are critical factors affecting operational costs and vehicle longevity. The company faced several challenges:

1. Fuel Consumption:

• • Rising fuel costs made efficiency improvements a priority.
  • Trucks operated under varying load conditions affecting fuel economy.

2. Wear and Tear on Components:

• • Differential and engine wear metals were a concern for long-term durability.
  • Maintaining optimal performance required frequent oil changes and component monitoring.

3. Data-Driven Validation:

• • Objective, third-party validation was needed to assess the impact of lubricant additives.

The Solution
To address these challenges, Tri-Pol Enterprises collaborated with AwSUM Outcomes to test the PowerSUM line of additives in three fleet trucks (Units 132, 134, and 140). The trial included:

• Additive Integration:

• • • HDL90 (engine oil additive)
    • HDL90 (differential oil additive)
    • PWR4Diesel (diesel fuel treatment)

• Performance Monitoring:

• • • ECM Data Collection: Conducted at Wajax Industries, Calgary.
    • Oil Analysis: Performed at AGAT Labs, Calgary, to assess wear metal reduction and oil health.
    • Fuel Consumption Tracking: Monitored by Tri-Pol Enterprises’ drivers.

The Results
The introduction of AwSUM Outcomes products yielded measurable improvements across multiple performance metrics:

1. Fuel Economy Gains:

• • • Unit 132: 6% improvement from 6.175 MPG to 6.55 MPG.
    • Unit 134: 0.7% improvement from 6.27 MPG to 6.31 MPG.
    • Unit 140: Insufficient data to complete a fuel mileage comparison.

2. Reduction in Wear Metals:

• • • Unit 132: Differential wear metals reduced by 83%.
    • Unit 134: Differential wear metals reduced by 28%.
    • Unit 140: Engine wear metals reduced by 68%.

3. Operational Benefits:

• • • Improved lubrication resulted in smoother engine and drivetrain performance.
    • Potential for extended maintenance intervals, reducing downtime and costs.
