Within a decade’s time we will probably have very different electrical systems on trucks than those in use today. The trucking industry is on the cusp of major changes to electrical systems for heavy duty trucks. Do we go to 24-volt or 48-volt systems — and what will it take to get there?
Prestolite Electric has launched the AVi168, a 24-volt, 150-amp alternator from Leece-Neville Heavy Duty Systems, designed to offer consistent, high-output power and resistance to extreme temperatures, thanks to its dual internal fan design.
Prestolite Electric has announced its use of Isolated Ground Technology in its line of IdlePro and IdlePro Extreme alternators, designed to protect engines from potentially severe electrolytic damage caused by stray voltage.
The LoadHandler Power Products all makes starter and alternator line now offers six new alternators and starters in a variety of application configurations to provide completely new, drop-in replacement coverage for popular medium- and heavy-duty vehicles.
