Bendix® Air Management System

View an introduction to the Bendix® air management system, a total air management solution that helps fleets and owner-operators reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, while increasing vehicle performance. Continuing in its efforts to provide the industry's most comprehensive, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly air management energy system, Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC has developed three optimized components: the Bendix® PBS® Air Injection Engine Booster, Bendix® Turbo-Clutch Air Compressor, and Bendix® Electronic Air Control Dryer (EAC). The Bendix PBS engine booster is unlike any other product available on the market today. The PBS system is placed near the air intake manifold on an engine and monitors the Controller Area Network (CAN) for specific signals. Once the conditions for activation are met, the system injects compressed air from an auxiliary air tank into the engine manifold, delivering the desired amount of air that the diesel combustion processes require. Typically, when a driver presses down on the throttle to demand acceleration, there is a delay in engine response because of turbo lag. This lag constitutes the time difference between acceleration demand and the maximum air delivery of the turbocharger. The Bendix PBS system overcomes turbo lag by instantaneously injecting the desired air into the intake manifold, allowing the turbocharger to spin up to its full capacity and take over the air delivery demands. The pneumatically operated, single-cylinder Bendix Turbo-Clutch Air Compressor works together with PBS air injection and the Bendix Electronic Air Control Dryer, so that the compressor disengages during the portion of the duty cycle when no air is demanded. This greatly reduces power consumption from the engine and reduces fuel consumption. As a result of the reduced overall cycling, the life cycle of the compressor significantly increases and normal wear and tear is dramatically reduced. Vehicles can reduce fuel consumption by up to 3 percent when operating with the Bendix PBS system, up to another 3 percent with the Bendix Turbo-Clutch Air Compressor, and 1 percent more with the Bendix Electronic Air Control Dryer.

The Bendix® ESP® Full Stability System - 100,000 Units and Counting

This video highlights the benefits of the Bendix® ESP® Electronic Stability Program, the first widely available full-stability solution for the commercial vehicle market. In December 2010, marking a major milestone for its full-stability technology and for safety on our nation's highways, Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC delivered its 100,000th Bendix ESP Electronic Stability Program system for tractor-trailers, trucks, and motor coaches.

Full-stability technology, also referred to as electronic stability program or electronic stability control, is more comprehensive than roll-only stability in its ability to mitigate loss-of-control driving situations. Unlike roll-only systems, full-stability systems -- such as the Bendix ESP system -- address both roll and directional stability. While roll-only options function optimally on dry surfaces, full-stability systems are effective in a wider range of driving and road conditions, including snowy, ice-covered, and slippery surfaces. Bendix, the North American leader in active vehicle safety and braking technologies, designs and delivers this powerful solution today. Ultimate responsibility for the safe operation of the vehicle remains with the driver at all times.

The Bendix ESP system DOES NOT replace the need for skilled, alert drivers exercising safe driving practices, nor the need for ongoing, comprehensive driver training.

System performance may be limited by poor braking system maintenance practices and improper tire maintenance. Information here is subject to change without notice

Commercial Fleets Will Power Natural Gas Vehicle Market through 2016

September 14, 2011

There are currently about 12.6 million natural gas vehicles (NGVs) in use worldwide, and sales of NGVs vary widely from region to region and country to country. The majority of NGVs are located in Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa, particularly in countries like Pakistan and Iran that lack extensive gasoline refining capacity. In North America, due largely to a lack of convenient refueling stations, demand for NGVs is largely relegated to the fleet market. Worldwide sales of natural gas vehicles are expected to grow rapidly over the next five years, to 3.2 million units annually by 2016 from 1.9 million in 2010, according to a recent report from Pike Research. The consumer market will continue to lag growth in commercial fleets, however: three-quarters of the new growth between 2010 and 2016 will come in corporate and government sales.

As a portion of the worldwide total, the percentage of commercial NGVs will rise from 59% to 65% in that period, according to senior analyst Dave Hurst.

“Many manufacturers and industry observers are looking forward to the time when consumer NGVs become the next big thing,” says Hurst. “But the number of refueling stations remains too low for the consumer market to really take off in many parts of the developed world.”

One solution to the current inadequacies in NGV infrastructure is the spread of bi-fuel vehicles. Popular in Latin America, where almost 90% of NGVs have bi-fuel engines, these vehicles can run on either gasoline or compressed natural gas (CNG).

India, which has one of the largest fleets of CNG buses in the world, is expected to overtake Iran for the lead in NGV sales by 2014. By 2016 there will be 612,000 NGVs in India, according to Pike Research’s analysis. The strongest growth, however, will occur in the United States, where a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.4% will result in nearly 33,000 vehicles sold in 2016.

Pike Research’s report, “Natural Gas Vehicles”, provides a comprehensive examination of natural gas vehicle technologies, compressed and liquefied natural gas shipping and storage, governmental incentives and regulations, and key drivers of market growth.  The report includes forecasts of NGV sales, refueling infrastructure, and natural gas usage through 2016 for light-duty vehicles and medium/heavy duty trucks and buses.  Key market players are also profiled.  An Executive Summary of the report is available for free download on the firm’s website.

Pike Research is a market research and consulting firm that provides in-depth analysis of global clean technology markets.  The company’s research methodology combines supply-side industry analysis, end-user primary research and demand assessment, and deep examination of technology trends to provide a comprehensive view of the Smart Energy, Smart Grid, Smart Transportation, Smart Industry, and Smart Buildings sectors.  For more information, visit www.pikeresearch.com or call +1.303.997.7609.

Hybrid Medium and Heavy-Duty Truck Sales to Surpass 100,000 Vehicles Annually by 2017

September 6, 2011

As the global economy begins tentative steps toward recovery, truck manufacturers are looking to technologies that can help mitigate the rising cost of diesel fuel while meeting increasingly strict emissions requirements.  Trucks that utilize electricity to meet these goals come in four variations: hybrid electric, plug-in hybrid, battery electric, and plug-in electric power take-off (EPTO) to operate equipment onboard without using fuel.  As the technology costs fall and diesel prices increase, the value proposition for hybrid trucks is strong, and a new report from Pike Research forecasts that sales will surpass 100,000 vehicles annually by 2017.

“The truck market has experienced seismic changes in the last few years,” says senior analyst Dave Hurst.  “The global recession has taken a huge toll on medium duty and heavy duty truck sales in many regions.  As fuel prices have increased, truck manufacturers have responded by expanding their offerings of alternative drivetrains to help reduce emissions and fuel usage by trucks.”

However, Hurst adds that the primary challenge facing the hybrid truck market remains the cost of the system.  Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) all continue to have higher upfront costs that are significant enough to result in higher total cost of ownership for the vehicles.  While the typical operating cost of a diesel vehicle is significantly higher than that of other drivetrains ($0.72/mile for diesel versus $0.60/mile for hybrid and $0.22/mile for BEV trucks), Pike Research’s analysis indicates that the higher purchase cost and low cost of diesel in some markets means that the trucks are not able to recover the incremental costs for the electric drive system in their lifetime.  As a result, government incentives and emissions or fuel economy regulations will continue to play a very important role in promoting hybrids and plug-in trucks.

Pike Research’s analysis further indicates that most HEV, PHEV, and BEV trucks will utilize different chemistries of lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries.  The cleantech market intelligence firm expects that the use of nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries will peak in 2016, as vehicle manufacturers move their remaining systems toward Li-ion.  The Li-ion market is expected to reach 3.6 million kilowatt hours (kWh) globally in the medium and heavy duty truck market by 2017.

Pike Research’s report, “Hybrid Medium and Heavy Duty Trucks”, examines the opportunities and challenges in the market for hybrid electric, plug-in hybrid, and battery electric medium and heavy-duty trucks.  The report provides a comprehensive assessment of the different drivetrains, battery technologies, and key drivers of market growth.  The report explores global government regulations regarding diesel emissions and vehicle purchase incentives and includes detailed forecasts through 2017.  Key market players are also profiled.  An Executive Summary of the report is available for free download on the firm’s website.

BD103 Continues to Provide More Efficiency and Life Than the LF3000 With Stratapore™ Media

The results speak for themselves. Extensive life and efficiency tests and billions of miles of actual use prove the BD103 outperforms the LF3000. The patented “series” design and the cellulose/synthetic blend media are central to the filter’s increased contaminant holding capacity and longer element life. In the BD103, all oil passes through the full-flow element instead of just part of it as with “parallel” designs.

The full-flow/by-pass technology of the BD103 offers up to 43 percent more full-flow surface for greater contaminant holding capacity. Higher efficiency means less damage-causing contaminants pass through the filter to sensitive components, leading to longer and more efficient system life. Increased capacity extends filter life without decreasing filter efficiency.

North Bay Truck Center has a huge selection of high quality Baldwin Filters in stock!

Baldwin High Velocity® Dual-Flow Filters For Cummins Engines

Baldwin Filters’ High Velocity Dual- Flow line includes three patent pending dual-flow lube filters to be used on Cummins ISM, ISX and Series 600 engines as replacements for the Fleetguard Venturi™ filter line. There are differences between standard dual-flow lube spin-on filters and the High Velocity Dual-Flow
designs.

High Velocity Dual-Flow spin-ons have one inlet and one outlet. Oil flowing through the filter is sent directly to the engine to protect vital engine components, rather than a portion being returned to the sump as with conventional dual-flow filters. The High Velocity Dual-Flow spin-on design is also superior to standard fullflow/
by-pass designs in that a larger portion of the flow travels through the high efficiency element, removing more small contaminants. In traditional full-flow/by-pass designs, only a small percentage of flow, 10% or less, travels through the high efficiency element.

This style of filter will be used on more Cummins applications in the future.

North Bay Truck Center always carries a huge selection of high quality Baldwin filters.

Bendix® PBS® Engine Air Injection

This video compares the performance of a commercial vehicle on an incline with a weighted trailer equipped with the Bendix® PBS® engine air injection system versus a non-PBS-equipped commercial vehicle. The Bendix PBS engine air injection system is the first air management system of its kind to simultaneously improve fuel economy and vehicle acceleration, while reducing engine emissions. The system is placed between the turbocharger compressor and the engine air intake where it monitors the Controller Area Network (CAN) for specific signals. Once the conditions for activation are met, the system injects compressed air from an air reservoir into the engine manifold, delivering the desired amount of air that the diesel combustion processes require. When a driver presses the accelerator pedal in a vehicle without PBS air injection, there is a delay in vehicle acceleration response often referred to as turbo-lag. The Bendix PBS system overcomes turbo-lag by injecting air into the engine air intake until the tubo-charger can supply the air required to meet the driver demand for vehicle acceleration. For more information, call 1-800-AIR-BRAKE (1-800-247-2725) or visit www.bendix.com

It demonstrates how the Bendix ESP system works, the potential loss-of-control driving situations it can help mitigate, what to expect when using the Bendix ESP technology, and what the system can and cannot address. The Bendix ESP system is the first widely available full-stability solution for the commercial vehicle market. Full-stability technology, also referred to as electronic stability program or electronic stability control, is more comprehensive than roll-only stability. Unlike roll-only systems, full-stability systems -- such as the Bendix ESP system -- address both roll and directional stability. While roll-only options function optimally on dry surfaces, full-stability systems are effective in a wider range of driving and road conditions, including snowy, ice-covered, and slippery surfaces.

Global Distributor of Well-known GOLDLINE and SILVERLINE Brands Now Has Broadest Offering of Ultra-Quality, U.S.-Made Tarp Straps

Erlanger, Ky., – Ancra International, the global leader in load securement innovation, introduced the new SILVERLINE Elite EPDM Tarp Strap today. The new strap provides Ancra customers with a high-quality, American-made EPDM tarp strap that can be purchased at a competitive price.

Until now, the SILVERLINE Brand Tarp Strap has been positioned as a Chinese-made natural rubber product and has been most popular among those operating vehicles in colder climates. Ancra announced that both the new SILVERLINE Elite EPDM Tarp Strap and the original SILVERLINE Natural Rubber Tarp Strap will be exclusively manufactured in the United States and both will be available starting July 1, 2011.

Ancra currently offers the ultra-premium, EPDM-based GOLDLINE Tarp Strap, and the company emphasized that the GOLDLINE product has been manufactured in the U.S. since its introduction over 40 years ago.

“Ancra will now have a U.S.-made tarp strap to serve virtually any application environment,” Jim Calico, vice president of business development for Ancra, said. “No other tarp strap product offering is this comprehensive and no other line of tarp straps is engineered with this level of precision and single-source quality.”

The GOLDLINE and SILVERLINE Tarp Straps are famous among fleets and independent truckers and are favored for their quality and durability. The straps have built their following chiefly through personal recommendations.

Like the new SILVERLINE Elite EPDM Tarp Strap, the GOLDLINE Tarp Strap is made of ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber, a material capable of delivering exceptional strength, durability and resistance to everyday environmental road conditions, like ultraviolet (UV) radiation and ozone.

Because of its robustness and its capacity to maintain its elastomeric properties in high-temperature environments, the ultra-premium-quality GOLDLINE Tarp Strap is a mainstay among vehicles operating in moderate and warm climates. EPDM-based tarp straps have proven to last five to 20 times longer than natural rubber tarp straps, and the lower profile SILVERLINE Elite EPDM Tarp Strap is exceptionally resilient as well.

The SILVERLINE Tarp Strap is made of the highest quality natural rubber and includes UV inhibitors to promote durability. The SILVERLINE brand has gained popularity among fleets and drivers doing business in colder climates, like Canada. The natural rubber in the SILVERLINE Tarp Strap remains uniquely flexible, even in sub-zero conditions.

The new SILVERLINE Elite EPDM Tarp Strap was designed to provide the marketplace with a tough, high-functioning, U.S.-made, EPDM alternative to the status quo. Calico noted that the vast majority of rubber and EPDM tarp straps on the market today are imported, and that past material and manufacturing quality fluctuations had led Ancra to seek a U.S.-made alternative.

“The SILVERLINE Elite EPDM Tarp Strap has all the advantages of EPDM, coupled with U.S. manufacturing quality, all at a very competitive price point,” Ralph Abato, vice president of sales and marketing for Ancra, said. “With Ancra’s global distribution capabilities, a quality EPDM tarp strap is now within anyone’s reach.”

GOLDLINE, SILVERLINE and SILVERLINE Elite EPDM Tarp Straps are manufactured in Middlefield, Ohio, by Universal Polymer & Rubber, Ltd. (UP&R). The company has been making the industry’s highest quality tarp straps since 1971 and is a tier-one and tier-two supplier of molded and extruded rubber and plastic parts to the automotive industry. On Jan. 3, 2011, UP&R named Ancra as its exclusive worldwide master distributor for all GOLDLINE and SILVERLINE Brand Tarp Straps.

“We closely control all facets of our manufacturing processes and even make our own hooks,” John Zielinski, vice president of sales and marketing for UP&R, said. “No other tarp strap manufacturer has single-source, in-house manufacturing capabilities in the U.S.”

“Ancra is proud and happy to be associated with such a venerable American-made product line,” Abato said. “These tarp straps are setting a new industry standard across the board.”

Ancra has established a hotline to answer questions, solve problems and to ensure that those who are interested in GOLDLINE, SILVERLINE and SILVERLINE Elite EPDM Tarp Straps can acquire them. The hotline number is: (800) 929-2627, ext. 203.
