Power parameters of these cars can provide enough speed for partial use them for long-distance transport over short distances (with the return of cars in one shift). However, you might need to adjust the drive ratio.

Much less lightweight cars can be used for long-distance transport in the context slaboholmistoy and rough terrain. But the maximum reduction in weight can be achieved only through their use on the road with a smooth surface and improved the condition that on this basis will not be created specialized vehicles, such as trucks and timber trucks. In all other cases, perhaps only a partial reduction in the mass of individual components and assemblies by light and alloy materials, modern technology and more sustainable design decisions.

Road transport in the country consumes about 20% of the total number of produced petroleum products, fuel costs account for around 15% of the cost of transportation work, so the tasks associated with an increase in fuel efficiency of cars and trucks, are essential to the national economy.
Fuel efficiency is measured fuel consumption in the economic characteristics of the road (liters per 100 km) and the average operating cost of fuel in typical operating conditions (liters per 100 kilometers, liters per tonnes km).
The main factors that affect fuel consumption, and recommendations for its reduction.
Gross combination weight. With the increase in the total mass of the same train at the same average speed needs more power to overcome rolling resistance and friction in the drive train, therefore fuel consumption in liters per 100 kilometers will grow. If the average speed is reduced by increasing the total mass of the train, the fuel consumption is also increased. However, to determine the ratio of the total mass and average speed of fuel consumption in liters per tonnes km can be reduced.
