How a simple process can maintain component life on self-steering trailer axles. By Richard Simpson
Axles
Richard Simpson examines the implications of switching from diesel to hydrogen fuel cell drivelines for the fleet engineer, using as an example a new bus fleet
Alternative Fuels
Buses are operating in the UK while fitted with a system that has been branded as a potential fire hazard. But how real is the danger? Richard Simpson asks questions
Emissions Control
Novel, and mostly unproven, drivelines are making headlines, but development of diesel engines continues to meet a variety of environmental, legislative, and economic considerations. Fuel injection is...
Engine/Transmission Management
With automated manual gearboxes dominating the heavy truck market, is there room for innovation lower down the weight scale? Richard Simpson investigates
Engine/Transmission Management
Internal combustion has a key role to play in the transition to zero carbon, argues Richard Simpson
Alternative Fuels
New standards for engine lubricants are on the way to help operators meet the challenge of transition to ‘carbon-free’ road transport, writes Richard Simpson
Lubricants & Systems
A combination of mains power and kinetic energy recovered from trailer axles could power fridges in the future. Richard Simpson explains how
Alternative Fuels
As engines wear, they produce more of the contaminants that can choke particulate filters. Richard Simpson looks for solutions
Exhaust systems, Filters & Catalysts
There’s a quiet revolution in temperature-controlled transport, whispers Richard Simpson
Temperature Controlled Vehicles
They look stylish, and are claimed to return fuel savings of up to 7% at highway speeds, so why do relatively few semi-trailers in the UK boast aerodynamic sideskirts, asks Richard Simpson
Bodies & Bodywork
Electronic technology is improving fuel economy in heavy-duty automatic transmissions, finds Richard Simpson
