Average consumption with emty trailer is circa 35 l/100 km. We drove about 50 km to test place and test driving for 250 km and back that 50 kilometers so total 350 km that means about 122 liters which is in money 156€. Whole test took over 6 hours to finish it.
I could drive with my seat with that money for over 2400 km easily at 5l/100 km. When you are driving empty truck you see bigger gains than with full load, but you can make rough estimation what is the effect of those FleXcaps with full load. Now we just need new test.
Now imagine that some of the trucks do run empty on our roads and try to imagine why? One of the best ways to save fuel is to get your gargo space full all the time and minimize empty driving.
