Fueling the Future: Clean diesel
When the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced five years ago diesel fuel sulfur levels would drop to 15 parts per million for on-highway vehicles in 2006 and off-highway in 2010, the engine manufacturers knew they had a lot of work to do. No one would argue that reducing emissions wasn’t a win for the environment, […]

Trucks/Test Drive: Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD
A pickup truck these days is called upon to do triple duty: tow a backhoe to the jobsite on Monday, take the spouse out to dinner Friday and tow the boat to the lake on Saturday. That’s an example, but it gives you some insight into the challenges truck designers face when they draft a […]

No Idle unit lets operators load or unload with truck engine off
Heavy equipment transporters can help meet government anti-idling regulations with Retriever, a truck bed that can load and unload 30,000-pound payloads with the truck’s engine off. The system can reduce idling time by as much as 95 percent, leading to lower emissions, extended engine life and maintenance intervals on the truck’s emissions system and generating […]

Cover Story: Fueling the future
You can’t beat crude oil for a resource. For the last 150 years all we had to do was pump it out of the ground, heat it up in refineries and go. But oil is becoming scarce. Prices jolt upward, and we can’t overlook the fact that much of the world’s oil supply comes from […]

Product Report: Smooth shift artists
Getting feedback from experienced grader operators and owners was a key – and from all indications, prized – part of Volvo’s design process on its G900 Series motor graders. And the engineers made copious notes as this group had no shortage of opinions: While the operators loved the tighter turning radius and what they termed […]

Maintenance/Management: Intelligent hydraulics
In just the past few years, the progression from electro-hydraulic control to electronic control of hydraulic systems has given engineers almost unlimited potential to re-write the rules of how machines and their component subsystems work together. And smarter hydraulics combined with steady improvements in the mechanical elements of hydraulic pumps, motors, hoses and connections are […]

Engine Notebook: Cummins technology for 2007 and Tier 3
The first U.S. emissions regulations for on-highway diesels arrived in 1973. The first U.S. emissions regulations for mobile off-highway diesels arrived in 1996, a lag of 23 years. The gap between on- and off-highway implementation has now narrowed to three or four years. The goal is to have all diesel applications coordinated by 2015 or […]

Heavy equipment engines may be massive and powerful, but all it takes is a teaspoon of dust to ruin one. Silica, the primary ingredient in dust, is highly abrasive and acts like a lapping compound – polishing your piston rings, valves, cams and crankshafts and sandblasting your fuel injectors or any moving part with tight […]
