These Energy Management Solutions Are Brought To

You By Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC

PBS® Air Injection Booster

Fuel Savings: 1%-3%

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

νLower Average Engine Speed: immediate availability of torque reduces average engine speed; cleaner burn with simpler after-treatment options

νDownsizing of Engine: allows the engine to be downsized, greatly enhancing fuel and component savings

νPart 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%

νReduces 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.

νTurbocharged air compressor intake results in significantly improved specific power consumption for further improvements to fuel economy

νReduced overall cycling minimizes normal wear & tear, significantly increasing compressor life

νMinimum footprint clutch adds about 2 lbs of weight and less than 1” to the compressor length

νCombine 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%

νIntelligent controlled air charging and air treatment via the integration of air dryer, governor function and multi-circuit protection valves

νSoftware algorithms turn compressor on and regenerate air dryer desiccant during most energy efficient times of vehicle operating conditions (e.g. vehicle coast and braking conditions where engine torque is near zero).

νIntegral 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 fleet operating practices)

νBendix 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.

νFleets 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.

νData from the system can help fleets 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 fleet tire maintenance practices)

νSmarTire provides temperature-compensated tire pressure monitoring, alerting drivers when tire inflation is low, or temperature is high.

νMaintenance 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.

νKeeping tires at proper inflation levels contributes to improving vehicle fuel economy, reducing emissions and prolonging tire life. A 20% under-inflation 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 landfills and may contribute to reducing petroleum consumption.
