Diesel flow meters provide real time information on the fuel consumption in diesel traction. Compared to energy meters for electric traction, benefits are limited. However, an improved monitoring of fuel economy of diesel stock as well as a raised energy awareness of drivers justify the introduction of diesel metering equipment. Despite low investment costs, no implementation experience is reported. |
