The latest release of ACT’s For-Hire Trucking Index reflects the slowly progressing freight market recovery.
ACT Research says the For-Hire Trucking Volume Index increased by 1.7 points in January to 50.0, seasonally adjusted, from 48.3 in December. ACT says the service boom following the pandemic has retreated, and positively for freight, goods consumption looks to be back in vogue. The company adds that disposable income continues to outpace inflation (+4.2% in 2023), and job growth remains strong, meaning the gradually improving trend is expected to continue.
Despite falling from December’s high, the association’s earlier predictions of a strong start to 2024 are still on track.
The new transmission will get its start in the Kenworth T680 and T880 trucks.
Even when seasonally adjusted, ACT says preliminary order numbers for February are up 5% over January.
The truck is equipped with the Cummins X15N, which Kenworth says will meet CARB and EPA Requirements for both 2024 and 2027.
Cummins talks us through launch of the X15N engine and what fleets are saying about natural gas powertrains.
Despite trucking demand remaining weak, ACT Research says imports and international data indicate positive trends in 2024.
Better fuel economy can lower costs, minimize environmental impact and improve sustainability — thoughtful engineering can help see those results.
Autonomous truck testing is underway, and the company expects customer pilots to be delivered later this year.
