It is designed to help trainees acquire technical skills that they can take back and share in their home countries. While the trainees gained insight into truck maintenance, their hosts in Japan also had a positive experience. Kanamaru Takahiro says: “In all, the Kanto region will accept around 50 foreign technical interns this year. I expect our technicians to gain a lot by working alongside these trainees, who have a positive attitude and are highly motivated.” Recently, 12 trainee technicians from the Philippines joined four customer centres in the Kanto region of Japan. The Kanto region of Japan will accept around 50 foreign technical interns as part of a programme run by UD Trucks this year.

Abstract The respective populations of the United States and Texas are expected to significantly increase over to the next several decades, primarily in urban and metropolitan areas. Economists have also predicted that oil prices will rise in real terms during the same period. Air quality is getting worse in a number of metropolitan areas, triggering non-attainment penalties and spurring an interest in cleaner transportation. Incentives and new policies must be adopted to increase the efficiency of the transportation system and thus move freight with a reduced impact on society and the environment. Hybrids can potentially help solve this issue through their increased fuel economy and reduced emissions. This project evaluated a package delivery truck, beverage delivery truck, and a refuse truck.

Summary report. Edited by Matti Kytö, Kimmo Erkkilä and Nils-Olof Nylund Abstract Research on fuel savings for heavy-duty vehicles was carried out within the framework of the three-year (2006–2008) “RASTU” project. The research integrate also included tasks relating to emissions, IT applications and safety. Five research parties and nearly 20 sponsors took part in the project. During the research period, a total of approximately 140 heavy-duty vehicles were tested using a chassis dynamome- ter. An overall trend that emerged is a decline in the emissions and fuel consumption of new vehicles (Euro IV, V and EEV). However, there are significant differences between vehicle makes. Emissions of buses in particular vary a lot, and the emissions of only a few diesel vehicles correspond to the class in which the vehicle is certified.

  • Volvo FE Hybrid for Distribution and Refuse Collection
    VOLVO TRUCKS. DRIVING PROGRESS Volvo FE Hybrid For Distribution and Refuse Collection With a total weight of up to 26 tonnes, the Volvo FE Hybrid has all the resources for efficient distribution and refuse collection. The electric motor is normally used at start-up and when accelerating to speeds of up to around 20 km/h. It is also used at short stretches, idle running, traffic jams, marshalling, loading and unloading. The diesel engine is shut off completely during electrical operation. Because the electric motor provides maximum power directly Volvo FE Hybrid on start-up, the torque and driveability are extremely good. • Fuel saving of 15-30% depending on application At braking, the brake power is used to charge the batteries, • Powerful, easy to drive and flexible energy that would otherwise have been lost as heat energy • Lower exhaust emissions in the brakes. • Lower noise levels • Recuperates braking energy The parallel hybrid runs on a prop shaft • Reduced wear on the wheel brakes Volvo's hybrid solution is a parallel hybrid. It is a reliable construction because the diesel and electric motors can be The hybrid provides an even power flow directly used independently of each other. The parallel hybrid runs on from start-up a prop shaft, the advantage of which is that disruptions to any of the systems do not affect the other system. Torque Electric motor and diesel engine Electric motor (continuous tor- que) and diesel engine Diesel engine Engines that complement each other The compact electric motor with its powerful torque offers high performance at low speeds and complements the diesel engine's superior qualities at higher speeds.
