StainlessDeal 16 Report post Posted June 13, 2005 In a past life I was a moving and storage driver and I well remember my skepticism concerning the advent of computer controlled diesels in our tractors. I was sure it was going to be a lot of power-robbing smog gear and a way for companies to govern the trucks more easily. I am amazed at how wrong I was. Modern electronic diesels lay out more power, with less fuel consumption, while burning cleaner. They also do all this while having the ability to track maintenance and failures before and as they happen. They self diagnose and perform better than I thought was ever going to be possible. Ever since entering this business, I have been wondering if and when, this innovation would come to our equipment. It will be expensive, at first, but in a short time we will wonder how we ever got along without it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
