FLEET PARTS & COMPONENTS
What's new in products for a more efficient fleet operation.
Designed for the
For Ford Transit 2007-2020
22.5 " by 8.25 " and
22.5 " by 14 " wheels
The Aerodynamic Drive
Cover + Wheel from Alcoa
Wheel Products is an exclusive
cover plus wheel system
designed for the 22.5 " by
8.25 " and 22.5 " by 14 " wheels,
Nos. ULA18x, 84U61x, and 84U64x.
The cover's design powers fuel efficiency
while weighing less than comparable solutions, the company said. Its
design features a unique approach in attachment style. The cover provides
a measurement-free installation process. It is also affixed to a ring, which is
secured in the flange groove of the wheel (patent-pending flange design),
leaving the hub unburdened by heavy brackets and ensuring appropriate
mounting consistency and for maximum results. Additionally, the cover features
a 9 " inspection opening, which allows for a clear view of all wheel-end
components, eliminating the need for wheel cover removal during pre-trip,
post-trip, road-side inspections, and tire inflation. According to the company,
the system saves up to 0.96 gallons of fuel per 1,000 miles.

The Suspension Ball Joint, No. BJ87355PR,
from Dorman Products is designed for Ford
Transit vans, model years 2007 through 2020.
This innovative OE FIX ball joint replaces the
original and allows a -0.5-degree to +1-degree
camber adjustment while the ball joint remains
installed on the vehicle. The upgraded design
restores proper vehicle handling, saves time
when alignments are needed, and reduces
future service costs and the frequency of tire
replacements. The solution is designed to
simplify the alignment process, restore proper
front-end alignment, and reduce future maintenance
costs.

Four radar sensors detect objects in a driver's blind spot
Mack Trucks announced the Sensata Technologies PreView MultiSensor
Collision Warning System is available for order on the Mack LR,
Mack LR Electric, and Mack TerraPro models. Sensata uses four radar sensors-one
on the front, one on the rear, and one on each side of the vehicle-
to detect objects and vulnerable road users (VRU) that may be located in a
driver's blind spot. When a VRU is detected, an audible alert is sounded and
the A-pillar lights flash, offering drivers a notification. The PreView radar system
is available as an option and is factory-installed on new builds. Customers
may also retrofit their trucks with the system by contacting their local Mack
dealer. PreView is always on. The system requires no maintenance unless
something damages it, or a software upgrade is made available.

SmartWay-verified drive tire tread
The Bandag B713 FuelTech drive tire tread
from Bridgestone Americas is engineered
to increase retread value for fleets. The
tread is SmartWay verified and delivers
fuel efficiency as well as improved wear
life without compromising on traction or
reliable performance. Innovations to the
Bandag B713 FuelTech design include a proprietary compound that delivers 30%
longer wear life and 7% better wear for more miles of low fuel cost performance;
3D siping that features 130% more biting edges for improved traction; and a continuous
shoulder design that distributes weight and torque more evenly to fight
irregular wear, which can lead to premature tire removal. The Bridgestone Bandag
B713 FuelTech tread is available in four different sizes: 210, 220, 230, and 240.
