Axle innovations keep getting better and better, so there are no “bah humbugs” to be had when it comes to the future of eAxles.
Axle manufacturers have been working on eAxle solutions for years, it’s nothing new per se, but as time moves on and electric trucks become more popular, engineering innovation only gets better and better.
As truck technology evolves, so should technician training practices.
"How well trained are your truck technicians?" It's a question you should ask yourself if you run your own maintenance, and a question you should pose to any potential truck service provider with whom you contract. Today's heavy-duty trucks are packed with technology—from sophisticated engine controls and aftertreatment systems to the latest advanced driver assistance systems like adaptive cruise, lane-keep assist and active brake assist. All of these systems require the latest technician training to ensure that when a truck needs fixing, it's fixed correctly the first time.
Not only do you save on maintenance costs, but you may also cut down on fuel consumption by using engine brakes. It’s a win-win situation!
What obstacles still stand in the way of a broad adoption of this technology?
Having a service program designed around the needs of your fleet is crucial regardless of the technology in use.
Manufacturers and service providers can’t predict every hurdle they may have to jump over to effectively reach that goal…
