Rising Fuel Costs Are Changing the Industry

Why JENZ Chippertrucks Make More Sense Than Ever

Fuel prices continue to put pressure on contractors, biomass suppliers and forestry operators across the UK. Whether travelling between jobs, feeding large biomass plants or processing timber roadside, diesel consumption has become one of the biggest factors affecting profitability.

As operators look for ways to reduce running costs without sacrificing output, more businesses are turning towards self-propelled JENZ Chippertrucks as a smarter long-term investment.

Built for both high-output chipping and efficient road travel, JENZ Chippertrucks combine productivity, mobility and fuel efficiency in one complete package.

Efficient on the Road. Efficient While Chipping.

One of the biggest advantages of a JENZ Chippertruck is that it is designed as a complete integrated machine rather than a separate truck and chipper combination.

This allows the machine to operate more efficiently both during transport and while processing material.

Unlike some high-horsepower chipping setups that require multiple vehicles, separate engines or constant high RPM operation, JENZ machines are engineered to balance throughput with fuel economy.

With road speeds of up to 80 km/h and truck-based mobility, operators can move quickly between sites without relying on additional transport arrangements.

That means:

• Less transport downtime
• Reduced logistics costs
• Faster mobilisation between jobs
• Lower fuel usage across the working day

Smart Chipping Technology That Reduces Fuel Consumption

JENZ chippers use intelligent systems including Smart Hydraulic control, CFA infeed control and the D1.3 drum design to maintain a consistent crop flow while reducing unnecessary engine load.

The optimised discharge flow and smoother drum operation help reduce fines, minimise blockages and lower diesel consumption during operation.

This becomes particularly important during long working days where fuel savings quickly add up over hundreds of operating hours.

Lower RPM, Less Stress, Better Economy

Another major factor is how JENZ machines are designed to achieve high throughput without constantly overworking the drivetrain.

The large drum design and high mass moment of inertia help the rotor maintain momentum more efficiently, reducing unnecessary strain on the machine while maintaining output.

For operators, this can mean:

• More efficient fuel usage
• Reduced wear on driveline components
• Lower maintenance costs
• Smoother machine operation
• More consistent wood chip quality
• Hybrid Technology for Maximum Efficiency

On larger applications, JENZ Hybrid Chippertrucks take efficiency even further.

The dual-engine concept allows the truck engine and chipper engine to perform separate tasks during operation, helping optimise power delivery while improving overall efficiency. During transport, only the road engine is used.

This setup gives operators maximum chipping performance when required, while avoiding unnecessary fuel consumption during road travel.

Why More Contractors Are Looking at Whole-Life Running Costs

As fuel prices continue to fluctuate, many operators are now looking beyond initial purchase price and focusing more on total operating cost over the machine’s lifetime.

Efficiency on the road, fuel usage during chipping, reduced downtime and lower transport requirements all play a major role in profitability.

That’s why self-propelled JENZ Chippertrucks are becoming an increasingly attractive option for contractors who need:

• High throughput
• Reliable mobility
• Lower operating costs
• Fuel-efficient chipping performance
• Fast movement between sites

In today’s market, efficiency is no longer a luxury , and that’s exactly where JENZ Chippertrucks continue to stand out.
