POWERTRAIN FEATURE

PERKINS

Precise air control improves fuel efficiency while reducing emissions.
" Integrated powertrain solutions, like the combination included with the Mack MP8HE package, are engineered specifically to support maximum fuel economy, " Russoli said.
" Pairing engine hardware configuration and calibration with
automated shift strategies and intelligent software capable of
reacting to changes in load, grade, speed and torque demand
enables the powertrain to operate as one system rather than
individual components and enables prioritization of features
that are most important to a customer's mission. "
Links to navigation systems and their satellite inputs let
vehicles adjust to maximize efficiency - for example, slowing for curves and speeding up before hills. Some systems
even let vehicles that travel set routes learn where to make
adjustments.
" Intelligent Powertrain Management (IPM) is standard with
Detroit engines when paired with the Detroit DT12 transmission, " Copeland said. " It monitors GPS data and while in
cruise control, it can speed up a vehicle when approaching a
hill and then reduce the throttle at the crest to run efficiently
over the grade with minimal fuel. Recent improvements to the
IPM include more road coverage and a learning feature where
no grade is mapped or a grade is changed; the system can
learn to adapt and change its response to save fuel. "
Linking multiple systems isn't just helpful for today's operations. Integration is a major step towards autonomy, which
requires a holistic approach that calls for nearly all vehicle
systems to work together. Manufacturers like Volvo are adding safety systems to their powertrain networks.
" Powertrains now are integrated with safety systems, "
Agebrand said. " The more advanced they have become, the
more they can identify vehicles and traffic ahead of them and
also potentially behind them. "
