Trucks Go Green

PECO trucks have gone green. In an effort to reduce carbon dioxide and other emissions, PECO has equipped all of its 580 utility trucks to run on a locally produced biodiesel fuel blend, according to a press release. The trucks are now using a blend of petroleum diesel and refined vegetable oil. PECO has contracted with the Energy Cooperative, a local non-profit, to supply the biodiesel.
The fuel blend is 20 percent soy-based and 80 percent diesel which has the end result of reducing PECO's carbon emissions by 16 percent for every gallon of biodiesel used over regular diesel, according to the energy company. On average, PECO trucks use 15,000 gallons of fuel a week. PECO now boasts 630 alternatively fueled vehicles in its fleet. It also has a hybrid bucket truck, 43 hybrid SUVs and seven natural gas powered vehicles.
The use of biodiesel also reduces the release of other nasties into the environment, such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and particulates. PECO's parent company, Exelon, has made a goal of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by eight percent from its 2001 levels by year's end.

Trucks have new looks

Television ads portray pickup trucks in a Hollywood-like setting with images of a rugged machine piled with a full box of gear pulling a load of heavy machinery amid a swirling cloud of dust on a forbidding work site.
It may be TV, but that’s not too far from reality in today’s work environment.
For decades, the Dodge Ram and the Ford F-150 have led their respective brands in the full-size, light-duty pickup market. And like the actors in those ads, looks are a large part of the attention drawn to the subject.
Auto manufacturers carefully monitor public reaction to design changes.
At this year’s Chicago Auto Show, Dodge and Ford representatives will be paying particular interest for reaction to the new faces brought to these American-built haulers for the 2009 model year.

Volvo’s Fading American Dream

been almost 80 years since Volvo began exporting trucks and buses to the United States. But these days the Swedish firm’s bottom line is being sorely punished Stateside. Sales in North America fell 23% in the fourth quarter, and by a third in the year 2007, the company said Wednesday.
The firm blamed “continued low demand and low deliveries of trucks.” Adding to its difficulties were stringent pollution laws that came into force at the beginning of 2007.
The decline is made all the more potent by how well Volvo ,the world’s third-largest truck maker and biggest manufacturer of heavy diesel engines, is doing in Asia and Eastern Europe. Sales in Asia rocketed 104%, to 11.5 billion Swedish kronor ($1.8 billion), while in Eastern Europe they rose 72%, to 8.9 billion Swedish kronor ($1.4 billion), in the fourth quarter.
Net profit for the quarter rose 7.3%, from a year earlier, to 5.6 billion Swedish kronor ($870 million). But that was below market expectations of 6.2 billion Swedish kronor ($963 million), according to a survey by SME Direkt.
Operating margins also fell to 6.8%, from 7.6%, which Chief Executive Leif Johansson blamed on difficulties in North America.
Volvo’s CEO waxed optimistic about the U.S., the truck maker’s second-largest market after Western Europe, and said that while it was difficult to asses the American market, things there would eventually recover. “North America is not declining any longer. The first couple of quarters will be flat, but over time we expect it to return to the normal trend line,” Johansson said Wednesday, adding that Volvo was putting more money toward increasing capacity in the U.S.
The company has two main subsidiaries there: Volvo Truck North America and Allentown, Pa.-based Mack Trucks. The former primarily makes 18-wheelers, while the latter manufactures dump trucks, cement mixers and garbage trucks.
Some analysts have recently complained that the firm isn’t doing enough to fully utilize its North American plants.
But Volvo said Wednesday that it was more bullish about prospects in America than its rivals, which include Sweden’s Scania and Daimler Trucks North America. “We don’t see anything which would make us less optimistic than our competitors,” Johansson added. His optimism may have some credence since the truck industry is notoriously cyclical.

Get New Gadget to Track Tools - Ford Trucks

The Ford Work Solutions computer in the dashboard of the 2009 F-150.
When Ford asked owners of its trucks and utility vans which work-related problems drove them nuts, forgetting to bring crucial tools to a job was high on the list. On Wednesday at the Chicago Auto Show, Ford demonstrated radio frequency identification technology that should allow its 2009 F-150 trucks and E Series vans to instantly advise owners if they have every tool on their checklist with them when they set out or, for that matter, before heading home.
A Ford promotional image.Ford won’t say how much it plans to charge for the RFID package, which includes 50 radio tags truck owners can glue or tie onto their tools, as well as the embedded antennae and cabin-mounted reader necessary to monitor what’s been packed in the truck. As a prerequisite, the truck owner also has to purchase a newly designed dashboard computer screen and printer system that can connect wirelessly to the Internet, which stores the tool checklist and displays the RFID data.
The package represents a new twist on RFID, which has been used among other things for identifying and tracking livestock, Viagra on its way from Pfizer to drug stores, and a growing range of products meandering through the warehouses and back rooms of major retailers like WalMart. For the most part, though, manufacturers have avoided permanently affixing radio tags to consumer goods. Their goal has been to avoid clashes with privacy advocates who claim the tags might make consumers vulnerable to clandestine spying on their buying habits and behavior.
Ford, though, is betting consumers will not only accept this RFID application but pay for it. The data on the tags cannot be read more than a foot or two outside the truck bed and would be meaningless to anyone without access to files in the on-board computer

Texas 114 traffic stop leads to discovery of truck chop shop

The slow-moving flatbed truck hauling 18-wheeler parts caught the eye of Keller patrol officer Mike Norris.
The truck was traveling only 30 mph Thursday afternoon on Texas 114, so Norris pulled it over. The stop led detectives to a tractor trailer chop shop and as many as four thieves who dismantled up to $800,000 worth of parts from five stolen trucks.
“It just looks like an 18-wheeler graveyard,” Detective Jesse Minton said Friday morning of the fenced lot in the 4800 block of Keller-Haslet Road. As officers talked to truck driver Rodrigo Garcia on Thursday afternoon, Norris saw the front end of a Freightliner truck on the flatbed trailer, Keller police Lt. Brenda Slovak said.
“The officers ran a number that was on it and it turned out to be stolen,” Slovak said.
Garcia then told police he had obtained the parts from a 2-acre lot on Keller-Haslet Road. He was released after police confiscated the truck parts he was hauling.
Members of the multiagency Tarrant County Auto Theft Task Force obtained a search warrant and combed the fenced lot starting about midnight, Minton said.
They found five stripped trucks, only one of which had a trailer attached, Minton said. Investigators also found large plastic drums labeled “Hawaiian Punch” full of diesel fuel.
“This is the first time I have ever seen an 18-wheeler chop shop,” Minton said. “To get five in a row doesn’t usually happen, and 18-wheeler parts are expensive.” The discovery prompted detectives to obtain a search warrant for Garcia’s home in Kaufman County, where they found a stolen Dodge pickup that had been dismantled, police said. Garcia was arrested on suspicion of auto theft and taken to a jail in Kaufman County, Minton said.
Garcia has not been charged with crimes relating to the chop shop, but he led detectives to a truck parts wholesaler in Ferris, about 20 miles south of Dallas in Ellis County, who police believe unknowingly bought stolen parts.
The chop shop lot was reportedly rented in January, and all the trucks discovered there have been reported stolen since Jan. 16 in Dallas, Balch Springs and Mesquite, Minton said. The lessee, whom police are calling a “person of interest,” is scheduled to meet with police in coming days.
After the three-county overnight investigation, detectives headed home to get some sleep
“It has been a pretty incredible day,” said Minton, who was rushing home Friday night to attend his father-daughter school dance. “We contacted all the victims so they could come and claim their trucks, but unfortunately the damage to all the vehicles is so great that they probably won’t be on the road ever again.”
