Equipment May 15-31, 2019 • 25 Top Daimler exec says battery-electric vehicles key to emissions-free transport Courtesy: DAIMLER TRUCKS NORTH AMERICA To meet the goal of an emissions-free transportation environment, the industry must work together to establish a common battery-electric vehicle charging infrastructure, Daimler Trucks North America President and CEO Roger Nielsen said at the ACT Expo. Volvo says newest series of parameter updates designed to provide more customer value THE TRUCKER NEWS SERVICES LONG BEACH, Calif. — Roger Nielsen, president and CEO of Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA), recently declared batteryelectric vehicles as the solution to achieve emissions-free commercial transportation in North America. Speaking to a crowd assembled in Long Beach at the ACT Expo, Nielsen said, “The road to emissions-free transportation is going to be driven with battery-electric vehicles. I believe the future is electric.” The road to emissions-free driving, he said, does not include plug-in hybrids for DTNA. Near-zero-emissions natural gas medium- and heavy-duty vehicles are currently available and will continue from Freightliner as an interim solution until full commercialization of the battery-electric Freightliner eM2 and eCascadia. The company sees potential for hydrogen fuel cells to extend battery-electric truck range, but does not see it as viable in the near term. The vision of electric vehicles does not exclude fuel cells: “I can see a glimpse of it over the horizon, but it will not be this generation of See Daimler on p26 m THE TRUCKER NEWS SERVICES GREENSBORO, N.C. — Volvo Trucks’ newest series of parameter updates complements its newly-launched Parameter Plus subscription package, which allows for up to 50 parameter updates annually per covered vehicle. With over 250 parameters to choose from, this new set of updates will provide customers with notable value in terms of cost savings, fuel efficiency and uptime, the OEM said in a news release. “The enhancements we’ve made to our range of available parameter updates demonstrates Volvo Trucks’ commitment to maximizing uptime for our customers through best-in-class connectivity capabilities,” said Ashraf Makki, product marketing manager at Volvo Trucks North America. “Our customers are already seeing the value in the recently introduced Parameter Plus package, which allows owners to switch between operating modes remotely, balancing fuel usage and performance to optimize the truck’s transport assignment and maximize profitability. These updates will only add to that value.” This new release of the parameter updates fur- See Volvo on p26 m Courtesy: WABCO Jon Morrison, WABCO president, Americas, said the company is pioneering the creation of Active Lateral Safety as it did with forward safety when it introduced its OnGuard ADAS system.

WABCO offers new technology to help fleets improve safety, uptime, on-time performance THE TRUCKER NEWS SERVICES ATLANTA — WABCO Holdings Inc., a global supplier of braking control systems and other advanced technologies designed to improve the safety, efficiency and connectivity of commercial vehicles, last month introduced an integrated Active Lateral Safety technology suite to help fleets reduce accidents and increase driver control and comfort in a full range of operating environments. The new suite, which will be available later this year, integrates the company’s active steering technology with two Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to establish a comprehensive “cocoon of safety” around the vehicle. “By combining these technologies into an integrated safety package, we have extended the benefits of active steering to two of the most common critical events leading to accidents — drifting out of the desired travel lane and failing to detect a vehicle in the driver’s blind spot,” said Jon Morrison, WABCO president, Americas. “We are pioneering the creation of Active Lateral Safety as we did with forward safety when we introduced our OnGuard ADAS system. Together, these solutions enhance vehicle intelligence and protection to support the overall success and safety of on-highway fleets.” The new Active Lateral Safety suite consists of three integrated safety solutions from WAB- CO: • Active steering system featuring a Sheppard hydraulic power steering gear equipped with magnetic torque overlay technology • OnLaneASSIST active lane keeping assist system, and the • OnSideASSIST blind spot assist system. Morrison said WABCO’s active steering technology utilizes a magnetic torque overlay to enable several new features that help maximize safety, increase uptime and improve driver comfort and acceptance: • Road crown compensation See WABCO on p26 m
