Volvo Trucks North America now offers the Volvo D12 series engines as a North American remanufactured product. Remanufacturing the Volvo D12 in this market offers customers increased availability, faster delivery times and a significantly lower cost, the company said. The Volvo Reman Basic Engine delivers the reliability, durability and performance of all Volvo engines, backed with a two-year/unlimited mileage warranty.

The Volvo Reman D12s are remanufactured at the Middletown Remanufacturing Center (MRC) in Middletown, Pa. MRC has provided North American customers with superior remanufactured parts for more than 30 years. Customers can order Volvo Reman D12s through their Volvo Truck dealer. Each engine is delivered as a “basic engine” (also known as a “long block”), which allows customers to re-use external engine components such as alternators from their original D12. Previously, remanufactured D12s for North America were shipped from Europe as complete engines.

Each Volvo Reman Basic Engine includes a remanufactured cylinder block, cylinder head, accessory drive, connecting rods and oil pump. The engine also includes new piston rings, cylinder liners, bearings, bushings, gaskets and seals.

“The Volvo D12 series enjoys tremendous success with customers who value its performance, reliability and fuel economy,” said Darin Redmon, Volvo Trucks engine marketing manager – parts marketing. “Remanufacturing the D12 gives customers a cost-effective option for extending the operating life of their Volvo VN or Volvo VHD, with new engine performance.”

Remanufactured Volvo D12 engines are completely disassembled and cleaned. Each component receives a rigorous in-process inspection, measured against Volvo’s original equipment and Volvo reman specifications, the company said. All critical components and “high wear” items are replaced with new components. Machining of remanufactured components includes stringent quality control processes, using precision CNC machining centers, to ensure performance and reliability standards are met.

Advantages of Carrier Transicold’s new Vector 8500 single-temperature hybrid trailer refrigeration unit include less weight, better capacity and improved fuel efficiency, according to the company. With the Vector 8500, Carrier is also introducing a fully hermetic electric scroll compressor, used in refrigerated marine container systems, that has 70 percent fewer moving parts and is 200 lbs lighter than a traditional reciprocating compressor. The Carrier Transicold Vector 8500 incorporates the manufacturer’s ecoFORWARD technologies. Compared to the unit it succeeds, the new Vector 8500: • Weighs 210 lbs less, a 10 percent weight savings; • Provides up to 4% higher cooling capacity – 60,000 BTU at 35 degrees F and 24,000 BTU at -20 degrees F; • Consumes up to 26% less fuel over a full range of operating conditions; and • Reduces engine runtime by up to 14%. In start/stop mode, according to Carrier, the greater capacity and higher efficiency also help the Vector 8500 achieve setpoint faster, enabling the engine to shut off sooner, ultimately reducing engine run hours and runtime-based maintenance expenses. The Vector 8500 unit’s engine is certified for the 2013 EPA Tier 4 standard for engines less than 25 HP. For fleets operating in California beyond seven years, the Vector platform’s standard electric standby capability provides an in-use compliance option.
