Meritor FUELite, Meritor WABCO ECAS selected for TWNA award

摘要

Meritor's FUELite tandem drive axle and Meritor WABCO's Electronically Controlled Air Suspension (ECAS) were recognized as top technical achievements by the Truck Writers of North America (TWNA). TWNA recognized these products for weight savings, increased fuel efficiency and improved traction control for rear-axle applications with the Technical Achievement Award at the annual Technology and Maintenance Council (TMC) meeting held March 12-15 in Nashville TN. "The selection committee was impressed with the Meritor FUELite's ability to save significant weight from a Class 8 tractor," said James Menzies, Truck News and Truck West executive editor. "When coupled with Meritor WABCO ECAS, the 6x2 spec becomes viable for many North American truck buyers who could benefit from the weight savings of a 6x2, yet don't have to worry about potential loss of traction."
