This new axle design for the light-commercial vehicle market offers best-in-class NVH performance along with durability and reliability, further assisting vehicle manufacturers in meeting fuel efficiency requirements by delivering higher power density in a smaller, lighter product – all within rugged environments.
Spicer® G140 axle. This single-drive, medium-duty axle is engineered to improve fuel economy, reduce maintenance costs, increase payload, and boost overall performance for medium-duty trucks and buses.
Spicer® AdvanTEK® Model 220 final drive unit. This light-weight axle with improved gear geometry and aluminum housing offers a higher torque capacity, superior NVH characteristics, improved fuel economy, and greater durability.
All-new Victor Reinz® Linear Stopper™ gaskets. This innovative sealing component for light and commercial vehicle applications features a trapezoidal element that allows for a highly uniform seal, ensuring improved reliability and durability, as well as reduced oil consumption and bore distortion surrounding gasket bolt holes.
Long® water-cooled charge air coolers. This efficient, space-saving cooler is constructed using stacked dish technology and light-weight, aluminum stamped alternating plates, providing improved durability and fuel economy.
