Stage 1 remapping in Fleetwood
Fleetwood households had fewer cars than those across the borough as a whole in the 2021 Census. In the Fleetwood built-up area, 32.4% of households had no car or van, against 18.4% across the Wyre council area and 23.3% across England and Wales, and only 25.5% had two or more. For the households that do run a vehicle, Stage 1 remapping changes how the engine responds without changing anything you can see: the fuel, boost and timing settings are adjusted in software, within the engine's limits. On a diesel the difference shows as mid-range torque, so pulling with a load, overtaking and climbing take less effort and fewer downshifts.
