Hino RM280 Bus Lacks Power? Poor Fuel Efficiency?

The Hino RM280 bus is a popular type of bus in Indonesia. However, many drivers frequently complain about its lack of power, especially when climbing hills. The best solution to this problem is ECU remapping.

Through a friend's recommendation and VELOCITY's detailed explanation, one driver decided to trust our solution. He mentioned that he takes great care of his bus but needed an effective way to address the issues of insufficient power and high fuel consumption.

Comparison of Factory and Upgraded Performance

Factory Condition Test: The test result was 20.49 seconds, which the driver found inadequate for daily needs (refer to the image for details).

After VELOCITY Upgrade: Post-upgrade, the test result improved to 18.68 seconds. Even though the driver did not fully press the accelerator during the road test to protect the vehicle, a slight pedal press was enough to feel the significant improvement in power and torque.

Long-Term Fuel Efficiency Testing: According to the driver's long-term usage, fuel efficiency improved from 2.8 to 3.2, representing a 14% improvement (the level of improvement may vary depending on the condition of each vehicle).

This enhancement in fuel efficiency means the company can save significant operational costs annually, resulting in a tangible economic benefit.
