The new suite of PowerEdge products is designed to meet the increased electrical demands and emissions control requirements of the heavy duty trucking industry from the largest companies with the newest fleets to individual operators seeking parts for used trucks.
PowerEdge Starters
PowerEdge starters feature 12 part numbers with 31,000 applications that cover more than 90 percent of all Class 8 trucks on the road today. High-performance features include over crank protection that constantly monitors internal temperatures to guard against thermal damage, and integral magnetic switch technology that reduces voltage drop, ensuring the solenoid receives maximum voltage under all starting conditions. All units are 100 percent new and come with a one-year/unlimited mileage warranty. Customers are ordering now, and shipping will begin in February.
PowerEdge Alternators
Beginning this summer, four 12-volt 170-amp PowerEdge alternators in pad mount and J180 mount types covering nearly all Class 8 trucks in operation will be available. Each unit is built with segment conductor (SC) technology that incorporates a square wire copper stator for a lightweight alternator with superior efficiency, better conductivity, higher amps at idle and cruising speed, and improved air flow for cooling and longer life. All units are 100 percent new and come with a one-year/unlimited mileage warranty.
PowerEdge DPFs and DOCs
Available now are PowerEdge aftertreatment products: 53 DPFs with 335 applications and 23 DOCs with 92 applications covering 93 percent of heavy-duty market for 2007 or newer Class 8 trucks. PowerEdge also offers 17 DPFs and DOCs covering all diesel applications in the light and medium duty markets.
All DPFs and DOCs meet or exceed original equipment (OE) quality. Advantages of the 100 percent U.S. sourced components include high-grade stainless steel canisters that increase durability and resist corrosion, advanced filter coating and tough cordierite substrates that reduce active regeneration, decreased backpressure for enhanced performance for fuel and time savings and improved thermal stability and efficiency.
Backed by a three-year, unlimited mileage warranty, PowerEdge DPFs and DOCs for the heavy-duty market are made to keep Class 8 trucks out of the shop and on the road. Trucking executives overwhelming rank emissions problems as the prevailing reason for maintenance-related downtime, according to a recent survey by CK Commercial Vehicle Research. Light and medium duty DPFs and DOCs have a two-year/36,000-mile warranty.
