Isuzu ECO-MAX Tour Comes To Future Ford of Sacramento

We checked out the Isuzu ECO-MAX Advantage Tour when it was paused for an hour and a half at Future Ford of Sacramento. Isuzu reps and two of the manufacturer reps for the two different bodies built by Supreme Corp and Reading Truck Body were on hand to tell the story of the ECO-MAX truck and the bodies sitting on the chassis. Check out the photos of the wall sections on the composite Supreme Van Body and though you cannot see it, the Reading body is made of aluminum so it carries much more cargo. Both bodies are lightweight and perfectly matched to the Isuzu ECO-MAX NPR chassis.

The Isuzu ECO-MAX Advantage Tour is still traveling, so check out the Isuzu Facebook page for dates and times of the tour and when it will be in your vicinity. Here's a link to the Isuzu Facebook page: Isuzu Facebook.

Stellar Industries Offers Updated Model 12628 Telescopic Crane with Stellar® CDT™ and New T-Max2 Body to Fill Niche

Garner, Iowa – Stellar Industries, Inc. is offering the updated Model 12628 telescopic service crane to fill a niche between the Stellar® models 10628 and 14528 cranes. The Stellar 12628 is an industry first in capacity and functionality, and it now features the Stellar® CDT™ (Crane Dynamics Technology™) control system. The 77,800 ft-lb crane boasts a maximum all hydraulic reach of 28’4” and can lift up to 12,000 pounds at 6’6” in boost mode. The Stellar model 12628 has industry leading features such as a hexagonal boom design for reduced flex and increased strength, and it offers a variable speed, multi-function radio remote control equipped with the Stellar CDT system as a standard feature.

The Stellar CDT system incorporates two-way communications and a feedback feature that is first in the mechanics crane market to offer integral capacity alert incorporated into the handheld controller. The system will indicate to the operator when the load being maneuvered is increasing the load moment of the crane. Indications are by visual and sensory signals built into the Stellar handheld controller using color-coded LED lights and varying cyclical vibrations. The Stellar CDT system can also allow operators who encounter an overload situation to productively operate through that overload situation by increasing crane capacity to 118% of its normal operating capacity for a short period of time. The Stellar CDT equipped 12628 also features a refined safety system. If a capacity monitoring device fails to operate correctly the crane will enter the safe mode. The safe mode will allow the operation of the crane at a reduced speed until the safety device is repaired, replaced or returned to proper working order.

“The 12628 and its recent updates fit nicely in our product line-up,” says Tim Davison, Product Manager, bodies and cranes. “fits the We have a 10,000 lb and 14,000 lb crane that both offer market-leading features,” he continues, “however, many customers wanted something larger than our 10628 but not quite as large as the 14528, so the 12628 growing needs of many customers.” Davison adds, “ And in true Stellar fashion, we’ve made it an industry leading crane and body packed with features, such as the Stellar CDT system, that exceed market expectations!”


In addition to the 12628 crane, Stellar has designed a new mechanic truck body to accommodate this new 77,800 ft-lb crane. The Stellar TMax2 body uses the same Torsion box understructure, the proven Torq-Isolator crane compartment and E-coat primer as standard Stellar bodies. It features up to 60” high and 22” deep compartments with double panel doors, stainless steel hinges and door handles and is designed to accommodate the Stellar CDT Equipped cranes when in boost mode. The TMax2 is part of the new TMax Series.

Stellar Industries, Inc. was founded in 1990. It is an employee owned and operated manufacturer of hydraulic truck mounted equipment located in North Iowa. Products include hooklifts, telescopic cranes, articulating cranes, and the X-Tra-Lift, as well as complete mechanic service truck packages, and tire service truck packages. Stellar is a progressive company that focuses on its people, as they are the key to making the products and the company successful.

Frito Lay Canada Introduces Smith All-Electric Truck Fleet

Frito Lay Canada is Canada's First Food Manufacturer

to Introduce Zero-Emission Electric Vehicles into Delivery Fleet

Six zero-emission electric vehicles to be added across the country

Mississauga, ON - In collaboration with Transport Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, Frito Lay Canada, a division of PepsiCo Canada, is the country's first food manufacturer to introduce zero-emission electric vehicles into its delivery fleet. Six vehicles will be based at Frito Lay Canada’s major distribution centres across the country – three in Brampton (ON), one in Ottawa (ON), one in Surrey (BC) and one in Laval (QC).

The zero-emission electric vehicles were made by Smith Electric Vehicles, the world’s leading manufacturer of electric vehicles, and each has a 60 kilometre per day range which meets the daily kilometre needs of the majority of the routes from the designated distribution centres. The six electric vehicles will be powered by electricity from the grid, offset by renewable energy credits, and at the end of the battery lifespan (3-5 years or longer) they will be returned to Smith Electric for recycling.

“Electric vehicles are good for the environment because they do not use fossil fuels and they do not produce greenhouse gas or particulate emissions during operation,” says Helmi Ansari, sustainability leader, Frito Lay Canada. “We’ve been striving to reduce our footprint on the planet for many years and energy conservation has long been a strategic initiative for the company. Today’s introduction of electric vehicles to our fleet brings us one step closer to our vision of a fleet that’s comprised of several types of highly-efficient vehicles that meet our various route needs and driving distances across the country.”

“Commitment to sustainable growth is a core Frito Lay Canada value, as it is for our parent company, PepsiCo Inc, which strives to achieve Performance with Purpose. Performance with Purpose is about achieving financial success while improving all aspects of the communities in which we operate - environmentally, socially and economically - creating a better tomorrow,” says Marc Guay, president, PepsiCo Foods Canada. “The introduction of our six zero-emission electric vehicles is the latest step in our ongoing environmental sustainability journey,”

“There are long-term benefits to having a sustainability strategy – both for the business and the environment,” said Guay. “We think it’s about demonstrating leadership and being a responsible corporate citizen. We are on an environmental sustainability journey and we firmly believe our efforts will have a long-term benefit to our consumers and the environment.”

The goals at Frito Lay Canada are clear: use less water, electricity and fuels while reducing waste from everything the company makes, moves and sells. In addition to the introduction of the electric vehicles into its delivery fleet, Frito Lay Canada has:

• Reduced the total distance travelled by delivery trucks by 3 per cent (1 million kilometres) in 2009 by optimizing delivery routes.
• Reduced manufacturing fuel consumption by more than 20 per cent since 1999 per kilogram of snacks produced.
• Reduced water consumption by over 30 per cent per unit since 1999, saving 5.4 billion litres of water through changes in manufacturing plants.
• Reused approximately 40 million shipping cartons since 1999 which is equivalent to more than 300,000 trees saved annually and more than 2 million trees saved since 1999.
• In 2009, diverted more than 92 per cent of manufacturing waste from landfills into recycling and re-use streams, and are striving for over 99 per cent Landfill diversion (1 per cent or less of the waste going to landfill).
• Introduced the world’s first 100 per cent compostable chip bag innovation with the SunChips® brand.

Frito Lay Canada’s environmental sustainability efforts were recognized in 2009 by several prestigious Canadian government and industry environmental awards:

• 2009 CIPEC (Canadian Industry Program for Energy Conservation) Leadership Award for Corporate Stewardship
• 2009 Green Supply Chain Award from Transport Canada and Supply Chain Logistics Canada
• 2009 CCME (Canadian Council of Ministers of Environment) Pollution Prevention Award

This year’s introduction of the SunChips® 100 per cent compostable chip bag and today’s announcement about the addition of the six zero-emission electric vehicles are all important steps in the environmental sustainability journey with many more initiatives to continue into 2010 and beyond.

Frito-Lay Starts 'Charge' On Largest Fleet Of All-Electric Trucks In North America

First Five Trucks in US Hit Streets of NYC

PepsiCo’s Frito-Lay North America division is setting the wheels in motion for what will ultimately be the largest fleet of commercial all-electric trucks in North America this week. New York City will become the first U.S. city to receive its favorite snacks from fully-electric delivery trucks, with five new trucks beginning routes this month.

In total, Frito-Lay will be deploying 21 electric trucks this year. The company projects it will roll out 150 additional trucks in 2011, making Frito-Lay the largest commercial fleet of all-electric trucks in North America. The trucks, designed by Smith Electric Vehicles, generate zero tailpipe emissions and operate for up to 100 miles on a single charge.

Electric trucks reduce fuel consumption, noise pollution and CO2 emissions, compared to traditional delivery trucks. The initial rollout in New York was funded through a grant from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA).

“Frito-Lay has implemented bold goals for reducing our use of key resources such as fuel to ultimately help us reduce our overall environmental impact,” said Mike O’Connell, director of fleet capability for Frito Lay North America. “There are real economic and environmental benefits to electric trucks. Once the planned 171 electric trucks are deployed we will eliminate the need for 500,000 gallons of fuel annually. Each truck emits 75% less greenhouse gases than a conventional diesel truck.”

The program expands a long-running commitment by Frito-Lay North America and its parent company PepsiCo to environmental sustainability. With the seventh largest privately owned fleet in the U.S., Frito-Lay has set a goal of becoming the most fuel efficient fleet in the country. Electric vehicles give Frito-Lay an opportunity to leverage the latest advances in transportation technology as a significant way to reduce the impact of its fleet.

Frito-Lay is working with Smith Electric Vehicles, the nation’s top manufacturer of battery-electric commercial trucks. Smith Electric is a leader in the development of commercial electric trucks designed to operate at peak effectiveness in urban environments. Smith Electric produces the Newton, which is the only all-electric commercial truck on the market.

“Frito-Lay’s truck program is a significant step forward in the advancement of electric vehicles,” said Bryan Hansel, CEO of Smith Electric Vehicles. “Businesses will improve their environmental impact and see cost savings with the reduction of fossil fuels. More importantly, the insights gained operating in urban environments will be invaluable in extending electric vehicle technology to consumer markets in the future.”

Specific benefits associated with Smith’s all-electric trucks include:

• Can run up to 100 miles on a single charge
• Zero tailpipe emissions
• Emits 75 percent less greenhouse gas than diesel
• Operates virtually silently, eliminating noise pollution
• Provides a long term economically viable solution

Frito-Lay’s New York fleet program aligns with Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s PlaNYC, which is an effort to reduce CO2 emissions and improve fuel efficiency of cars and other vehicles in New York City.

New York will be the first of three cities in the U.S., along with Columbus, Ohio and Ft Worth, Texas, where Frito-Lay will be piloting electric trucks on regular daily routes. The company has already deployed six electric trucks in Canada.

Frito-Lay North America is the $13 billion convenient foods business unit of PepsiCo (NYSE: PEP), which is headquartered in Purchase, NY. Learn more about Frito-Lay at the corporate Web site, http://www.fritolay.com/, the Snack Chat blog, http://www.snacks.com/ and on Twitter at www.twitter.com/fritolay.

Mercedes-Benz Plant Produces One Millionth Commercial Vehicle

Mercedes-Benz Plant in Ludwigsfelde

Produces One Millionth Commercial Vehicle

• Big celebration with more than 2,000 employees and guests
• The milestone vehicle, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, is handed over to the Berlin Landesverkehrswacht traffic safety organization

Ludwigsfelde – The Mercedes-Benz plant in Ludwigsfelde has every reason to celebrate: Today, following 45 years of production, the one millionth commercial vehicle rolled off its assembly line. The milestone vehicle is a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. More than 2,000 employees, political officials, and businesspeople took part in the ceremony at the plant and witnessed the official handover of the milestone vehicle to the Berlin Landesverkehrswacht traffic safety organization. And there’s something extra special about this milestone: That’s because the one millionth commercial vehicle from Ludwigsfelde is equipped with the one millionth engine produced at the nearby Mercedes-Benz plant in Berlin.

“Our plant has had a very eventful history and things have not always been easy,” said Michael Humpert, Plant Manager and Managing Director of Mercedes-Benz Ludwigsfeld GmbH. “That’s why we are particularly happy that we can jointly celebrate this production milestone today. I would therefore like to thank our employees for their dedication.”

A brief film clip was shown during the ceremony enabling the guests to relive the plant’s 45-year history. In his address, Mayor Frank Gerhard of Ludwigsfelde congratulated the plant and highlighted the facility’s great importance for the region. Further speakers were Dr. Heinrich Weiss, Head of Production at Mercedes-Benz Vans and a former manager of the plant, and Lothar Heinzmann, a former director of the IFA combine. Seven vehicles were exhibited during the celebration as representatives of all the various model series that have been produced in Ludwigsfelde to date.

Milestone vehicle to be used for a good cause

Then Plant Manager Michael Humpert and Thomas Uhr, Plant Manager of Mercedes-Benz Engines Berlin, presented the one millionth commercial vehicle to Hans Zucker, President of the Berlin Landesverkehrswacht organization. The Sprinter will support the latter by doing its work at schools and events. For more than 60 years now, the volunteers at Berlin Landesverkehrswacht have been helping all road users to become more safety conscious. One of the organization’s main tasks is to educate children concerning road traffic.

Ludwigsfelde plant has eventful history

Ludwigsfelde has a long industrial tradition. Back in 1936, Daimler-Benz built an aircraft engine plant in the city’s Genshagen district. After the plant was destroyed in World War II, the remaining machines were disassembled. A publicly owned industrial facility was established at the site in the 1950s, and construction of an automotive plant commenced in 1965. At this time, the facility also started series production of two IFA commercial vehicle models: the W 50 and L 60.

Around 600,000 of these trucks were produced before German reunification. The first Mercedes-Benz van (an LN2 model) rolled of the line in Ludwigsfelde in early 1991. Daimler-Benz AG took full possession of the plant in 1994. Series production of the Mercedes-Benz Vario commenced in July 1996, and the van is still being produced in Ludwigsfelde. The market launch of the Mercedes-Benz Vaneo in spring 2002 strengthened the plant’s position as one of the biggest employers in the Brandenburg region. The compact van was manufactured at the site until 2005.

Since 2006, the Ludwigsfelde facility has been producing the current Mercedes-Benz Sprinter model — as does its sister plant in Düsseldorf. A completely new manufacturing line containing state-of-the-art automated production equipment was constructed for the model at the Ludwigsfelde plant. Altogether, more than €300 million has been invested in machinery and buildings for the project at the plant.

The Mercedes-Benz plant in Ludwigsfelde has more than 2,240 employees, of whom 174 are trainees.

What Not To Do With A 3/4-Ton Dodge Truck

"I was going West on 80 today and saw this and couldn't resist the opportunity to take a picture of it for you. You could feature this in your news letter and say "What not to do with a Dodge 3/4 ton single rear pick-up". Talk about misuse of center of gravity limits for payload."

This was sent to me and I just love it. The creativity of some people in what they get on a truck. It's probably better they not go around corners, and especially, very fast. Just a tad unstable to say the least.

My thanks to my friend Bob Dias of North Bay Truck Body in Cordelia CA for the spy photo.

Maxon's New Introduces The First North American Made Cantilever Liftgate

MAXON'S NEW GPC: EUROPEAN DESIGN, NORTH AMERICAN MANUFACTURING.

The stability you want in a Cantilever gate with the support you need.

Maxon Lift Corp, the leader in liftgates is once again revitalizing the liftgate industry with the introduction of the first North American made cantilever liftgate. The GPC 22/33/44 is the first European designed, but North American manufactured - cantilever style liftgate. The GPC provides the precision, stability, and control you expect from a European cantilever gate, thanks to four separate cylinders for lift and tilt operations. You can easily level the load in any position thus achieving a simplification of loading and unloading on uneven surfaces.

Historically, Maxon has sourced this US niche product from a leading German supplier but is now bringing its own GPC product to the market. Consequently, Maxon customers will no longer need to be concerned with overseas delivery timing for spare part supplies, additional overseas sourcing costs or product spec constraints.

The GPC comes in a variety of platform sizes (both steel and aluminum), and can accommodate a wide range of bed height requirements. Built with performance in mind, the GPC features stainless steel pins, low maintenance bushings and grease fittings on all pivot points, a heavy-duty motor with thermal protection, lock valves on all cylinders, optional dual cart stops, and bolt-on installation plates for a quick and simple installation.

Just as important, the GPC uses standard Maxon parts and has an expert support and service team that is only one 800-number away. You'll never have to wonder who can service your gates, or where the parts will come from. "We're confident that the GPC will revolutionize this segmented portion of the industry and will constitute the benchmark, for future cantilevers", says Brent Stratton, Office of the President.

Maxon Lift Corp. was founded in 1957. That same year, owner Max Lugash invented the TUK-A-WAY® liftgate, which remains the largest selling style of liftgate in North America. For more than fifty years, Maxon Lift Corp. has initiated and developed a variety of innovative products that have become truck equipment industry benchmarks. Find out how the new GPC delivers the stability you want and the support you need at www.maxonlfit.com/conventional.

More company information can be obtained from Maxon and local Maxon sales representatives at 800-227-4116 or http://www.maxonlift.com/.

Pricing Announced for CNG Powered Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana Full-Size Vans

Comprehensive pricing offers a one-stop shop for a complete CNG system

The fully integrated and dedicated Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) option, available this fall for Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana full-size vans, will be priced at $15,910 MSRP, General Motors announced Tuesday.

The all-inclusive CNG option for commercial customers includes a dedicated CNG system, a natural gas-capable Vortec 6.0L V8 engine, and heavy duty trailering equipment. Chevrolet and GMC are the only full-line vehicle brands to offer a “check-the-box” CNG option for vans.

“Customers tell us coordinating the upfit for their CNG vehicles takes away valuable time that would be better used running their business,” said Joyce Mattman, director of Commercial Product and Specialty Vehicles. “Our CNG vans come with a fully integrated CNG fuel system, a comprehensive warranty, emissions compliance and strong dealer support, all for one price.”

Pricing for the all-inclusive CNG option includes a dedicated CNG system ($14,590), a natural gas-capable Vortec 6.0L V8 engine ($1,295), as well as HD trailering equipment ($265). A $240 credit for deleting the spare tire brings the package price to $15,910. So the total cost of either a 2011 Chevrolet Express or 2011 GMC Savana Cargo model, which starts at $25,980 would be $41,890 with the CNG option.

Powered by a Vortec 6.0L V8 engine, the Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana full-size vans come equipped with hardened exhaust valves, and intake and exhaust valve seats for improved wear resistance and durability with gaseous fuel systems.

The vans will meet all Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB) emission certification requirements, and will be fully compliant with applicable motor vehicle safety standards. Each CNG Chevrolet Express or GMC Savana van also will be covered by GM’s three-year, 36,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty and five-year, 100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty.
