Air Injection Booster

PBS

Fuel Savings: 1%-3%

Elimination of Turbo Lag: injects air directly into the intake manifold of the engine, communicating with vehicle and engine control units

n Lower Average Engine Speed: immediate availability of torque reduces average engine speed; cleaner

burn with simpler after-treatment options

n Downsizing of Engine: allows the engine to be downsized, greatly enhancing fuel and component savings n Part Consolidation: engine intake throttle function can be integrated into the PBS® air injection unit further

improving payback

Bendix® Turbo-Clutch Air Compressor

Fuel Savings: 1%-3%

Reduces power consumption from engine resulting in improved fuel economy. The compressor is

disconnected from the engine drive during the majority of the vehicle operating time.

n Turbocharged air compressor intake results in signiﬁ cantly improved speciﬁ c power consumption for further

improvements to fuel economy

n Reduced overall cycling minimizes normal wear & tear, signiﬁ cantly increasing compressor life n Minimum footprint clutch adds about 2 lbs of weight and less than 1” to the compressor length n Combine with Electronic Air Control (EAC) to ensure maximum optimization of the complete air charging

system

Bendix® Electronic Air Control (EAC) Dryer

Fuel Savings: .5% - 1%

n Intelligent controlled air charging and air treatment via the integration of air dryer, governor function and

multi-circuit protection valves

n Software algorithms turn compressor on and regenerate air dryer desiccant during most energy efﬁ cient

times of vehicle operating conditions (e.g. vehicle coast and braking conditions where engine torque is near zero).

n Integral solenoids and pressure sensors eliminate separate components typically mounted at various

locations on vehicles for further improvement of payback

Bendix® Wingman® ACB – Active Cruise With Braking

Fuel Savings: 2%-10% (depending on current ﬂ eet operating practices)

Bendix Wingman ACB uses a radar sensor mounted to the front of the vehicle to track forward vehicles in the

trucks lane of travel, providing drivers alerts and active interventions (when in cruise control) to help drivers maintain a set following distance interval.

n Fleets have found that using Bendix Wingman ACB – Active cruise with braking can help keep their drivers in

cruise control longer. Remaining in cruise control for longer periods can help improve fuel economy.

n Data from the system can help ﬂ eets develop innovative ways to improve driving practices that enhance

safety and increase fuel economy.

SmarTire™ Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) by Bendix CVS

Fuel Savings: .5%-2% (depending on ﬂ eet tire maintenance practices)

n SmarTire provides temperature-compensated tire pressure monitoring, alerting drivers when tire inﬂ ation is

low, or temperature is high.

n Maintenance technicians can check tire pressure easily from outside the vehicle with a hand-held tool that

displays actual tire pressure – helping ease tire pressure checks in the yard.

n Keeping tires at proper inﬂ ation levels contributes to improving vehicle fuel economy, reducing emissions

and prolonging tire life. A 20% under-inﬂ ation can result in up to 2% lower fuel economy and up to 30% shorter tire life. Keeping tires on trucks longer keeps them out of landﬁ lls and may contribute to reducing petroleum consumption.
