Take a trip to Orlando, crawl under a Great Dane trailer, explore the effects of new powertrain technology, find out more about EV charging infrastructure, and tour the new Navistar manufacturing plant. Sounds like an exciting month to us. Take a look!
5. Talk about GROUND-breaking technology
Leave it to Jason to get the best shot! In this video, get a close-up look at the ConMet PreSet Plus eHub on a Great Dane Trailer. This system captures kinetic energy, converts it to electricity and sends it to an electric trailer refrigeration unit (TRU).
