THE NUMBER 1 RESOURCE FOR VOCATIONAL TRUCK FLEETS
Denso Products and Services Americas has announced a series of improvements to its PowerEdge Diesel Aftertreatment Program.
The Aftertreatment Service Kit is used as part of a cleaning routine to remove particulates and soot that impede or obstruct the honeycomb filter within the front face of the Diesel Oxidation Catalyst.
Shell Rotella's Diesel Exhaust Fluid has been designed for on-highway medium- and heavy-duty trucks as well as off-highway construction equipment and trucks.
AP Exhaust Technologies’ line of diesel particulate filters are designed to be replacements for light and medium-duty vehicles equipped with diesel engines.
Diesel particulate filters help cleanse exhaust and give us cleaner air to breathe, but they cause frequent grief and expense.
How current and future challenges are affecting medium-duty fleets.
Fuel costs, the largest fleet operating expense, declined dramatically in the 2009 calendar-year due to a sharp decline in worldwide consumption. Also, many fleets have downsized, which contributed to a lower overall fuel spend.
On Dec. 11, California adopted the most stringent emission standards in the nation for on-road heavy-duty diesel trucks with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) greater than 14,000 lbs.
The No. 1 factor is the ongoing high cost of fuel, in particular diesel, which is driving management demands to lower operating costs. Another huge factor that will influence fleets will be the 2010 diesel emission standards.
