SECOND QUARTER 2024
IN THIS ISSUE
How the industry at large has been preparing for the creation of PC-12 while working on the ongoing adoption challenges with the current engine oils. What innovations the industry has most readily adopted and how they were realized at the 2024 TMC Annual Meeting and Transportation Technology Exhibition. The radical changes in Volvo's 2024 VNL that represent a balance of driver comfort, simplicity of maintenance, better fuel economy and fleet operating ratio. Insight into the top concerns of fleet managers, according to a recent survey conducted by American Trucking Associations’ Technology & Maintenance Council.
Since March 2021, the process of developing the heavy-duty engine oil category known as Proposed Category- 12 (or PC-12) has been slow and steady, as it was advertised. As the new category of PC-12 rises to the top, fleets and lubricant experts share the benefits of CK-4, FA-4.
COLUMNS
We have heard plenty of talk about a future filled with electric and autonomous vehicles. We’ve also listened to the excitement about the innovation of the established technologies such as the alternative fuels and fleet management technology.
As you know, there’s a synergy among driver comfort, simplicity of maintenance, better fuel economy and fleet operating ratio. There are a number of significant changes in support of these areas in Volvo’s 2024 VNL.
The things that keep fleet managers up at night continued to shift through the end of 2023, according to a recent survey conducted by American Trucking Associations’ Technology & Maintenance Council — at least when it comes to TMC fleet members’ top maintenance worries.

"The more things change, the more they stay the same. The mission of any maintenance shop is to repair vehicles as quickly and precisely as possible. There are scheduled maintenance needs sprinkled with the occasional emergency repairs. Efficiency is key. Those concepts will always stay the same.
With a view from the repair shop to the corner office, Calibrate offers more involved discussions into the trends and issues surrounding equipment and maintenance." - Michael Freeze, Features Editor, Transport Topics
