Broquet helps Fleet Vehicles Pass The Green Test

The biggest and most common problem that fleet vehicles and owners in particular face is the ever present black smoke. As the vehicle gets on in age, the production of black smoke becomes almost unavoidable. Owners spend time and money to eradicate this problem but short term solutions seem at best the only answer at present.



Broquet Fuel Catalyst, was first introduced into the Singapore market by the local distributor, Universal Consultants at the end of 1997 and their first concern was the older car market as the product claimed to be able to allow these vehicles to eventually run on unleaded fuel. With the eventual phasing out of leaded fuel in Singapore, this was good news for older car owners and sales for the unit has seen a steady increase since.

As Broquet acts as a Fuel Catalyst for all hydro carbon fuels (petrol, diesel and marine fuel), Universal Consultants' next move was to approach the fleet vehicle market in an attempt to rid their vehicles of the black smoke problem. As black smoke is caused by incomplete combustion which causes carbon build-up, the efficiency of the engine is reduced thus creating a cloud of black smoke whenever the accelerator of the vehicle is depressed. Fleet owners have adopted an immediate solution which includes reducing the throttle play and fuel governors at the fuel pump but this is a temporary stop measure as the process gradually starves the vehicle of more fuel until in some cases it has no more power causing them to lose their efficiency and pose a safety problem. With the introduction of the Broquet Fuel Catalyst in Line unit, a dramatic visible reduction of black smoke can be noticed after the run-in period.

In the United Kingdom, Europe and the USA, Broquet has been installed in hundreds of thousands of private vehicles as well as corporate fleets. Convinced that the product would be useful to fleet owners here in Singapore where strict laws govern the emission of black smoke, Universal Consultants have approached and convinced Delifrance and TCS to install their product on a number of their older vehicles. At present, Delifrance has four vehicles currently fitted with the in line unit of Broquet and reports from the Logistics Manager indicate a 50% to 60% reduction in black smoke emission. This visual improvement is similarly cited by TCS who at present have six of their fleet vehicles fitted with the Broquet Fuel Catalyst. Both companies realize the importance of fully efficient vehicles as this would mean a more productive fleet unit and the positive contribution to the environment.
