SRS Rail System ltd offer specialist vehicles and services to the rail construction industry. Due to their vehicles specialist construction and weight, fuel economy and engine power was a real issue.
In January 2008 SRS contacted Paramount Performance to explore what options may be available to increase the power and fuel economy for their Volvo F12 tractor unit. Paramount attended SRS in Derby during January and undertook specialist tuning to their F12 tractor unit and a number of other vehicles on their fleet.
After the work Peter of SRS said "we have been very pleased with the increase in power, the vehicles feel smoother and tackle gradients with greater ease, reducing gear changes and improving driveability. The biggest benefit has come from the improvement in fuel economy though, prior to Paramount tuning our Volvo F12 returned around 4.2 mpg, but now we are seeing a much improved 6.7mpg"
