Taking advantage of aftermarket solutions amid an uncertain market

Taking advantage of aftermarket solutions amid an uncertain market

New tractor and trailer orders continue to post low numbers as fleets of all kinds deal with the uncertainty of today’s pandemic-impacted market. Just because equipment lifecycles are shifting doesn’t mean that you have to sacrifice equipment efficiency or safety. Aftermarket equipment options offer increased value to your existing equipment. That includes essential equipment components to new technology like aftermarket advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) retrofit kits.

To take the pulse of the aftermarket solution market and take a look at how the aftermarket continues to serve fleet interests in the midst of the pandemic, I connected with Abe Aon, business leader – Fleet Solutions, North America, ZF Group, Commercial Vehicle Control Systems. Watch the video above for all of Abe’s heavy-duty aftermarket industry insight.
