While there have been many changes in the trucking industry, one thing has not changed, according to Rich Ferguson, managing director, Ferguson Partners LLC. “Trucking customers still strive for efficiency. This has not charged," he said during a presentation at Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week in Dallas, Texas.
No trucking industry meeting would be complete without a discussion of future technology, and Heavy Duty Aftermarket Dialogue in Dallas Jan. 27 did its part, featuring a panel that focused largely on electric trucks.
Four fleet executives shared their thoughts on managing the parts and service their trucks need, from vehicle lifecycle to PM strategies, during Heavy Duty Aftermarket Dialogue.
Momentum is gaining for electric truck deployment in North America, say two top supplier executives. But the timeline remains murky, according to a panel at Heavy Duty Aftermarket Dialogue.
Fleets say they want to outsource more of their maintenance and repair, but continue to do much of it in-house as they try to find service providers that can meet their needs.
The trucking industry aftermarket is being bombarded with technology, and that trend is not likely to go away any time soon, according to industry analyst Derek Kaufman.
