Ford Improves Its ’18 Work Trucks
Fiat Chrysler and a Lawsuit Filed by the Feds
Nissan Credit Card
•Randys Worldwide has acquired Zumbrota Bearing and Gear.
•Penske Truck Leasing now has a free mobile app called Penske Fleet, which permits you to find current fuel prices, use one-click roadside assistance, have a search function for Penske locations for service and rental trucks, and more.
•Hagerty Classic Insurance believes classic Japanese pickups will be trending.
•The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has created a Facebook page featuring info on vehicle ratings, safety issues, stats, and so on. Find it at facebook.com/iihs.org.
•AAA said it has plain solutions for preventing more than 415,000 fatalities and bad injuries on U.S. roads: roundabouts, roadside barriers, signalized pedestrian crossing, median barriers on divided highways, shoulder and centerline rumble strips, and widening the shoulders.
•UPS has a prototype: the Fuel Cell Electrified Vehicle (FCEV). UPS has been working with the U.S. Department of Energy and others to develop a zero-tailpipe-emissions Class six delivery truck.
•The 21st annual AutoPacific Vehicle Satisfaction Awards named the Nissan Titan most satisfying in the light-duty pickup category.
•Vic Edelbrock Jr. has passed away. He took over Edelbrock and ran the aftermarket performance-parts company after his father, Vic Sr., died in 1962.
•An all-electric left-side loader garbage truck? It’s the very first ever for California. The Class eight truck has a bod by Loadmaster and a chassis from Crane Carrier. The Electrified Reject Vehicle is only the 2nd all-electric in North America.
•Pentathlon D is a fresh tire from Pirelli, designed for fleet/long-haulers. One of its finest points is the dual-layer tread for high-mileage use. It’s also all about lower rolling resistance for better fuel efficiency, and its Spiral Advanced Technology for Truck (SATT) gives high retreadability.
•Bloomberg reported about a black market that’s creeping into the world: theft of used vegetable oil from restaurants. Grease is a source of renewable fuel/biodiesel, and according to a report from the National Renderers Association, incidents reached 6,000 in 2012, more than dual from 2005.
