Biagi Green – Going Leaner & Greener<\/h1>\n

The air has gotten a little cleaner in California thanks to Biagi Bros\u2019 Van Nuys terminal.\u00a0 Fifteen brand new, state-of-the-art Freightliners just hit the highways, leaving cleaner air in their wake \u2013 literally.\u00a0 The exhaust from these trucks is comprised of hydrogen and water.\u00a0 Those images of semis spewing black diesel exhaust will eventually become a thing of the past, but since we like to be on the forefront of the latest advancements in technology, the arrival of these 2015 trucks has been highly anticipated.<\/p>\n

These new low emission Cascadia Freightliners are equipped with a DV-13 engine. Engineered and manufactured in Germany, this clean diesel engine has been in use for several years in Europe, at this point less than a handfu\"Biagi<\/a>l of US companies have made the investment in this equipment.\u00a0 There is no question that other supply chain providers will be following suit eventually.\u00a0 Refurbishment of a Freightliner factory in Detroit is underway in anticipation of the coming demand.<\/p>\n

The engine is only part of the buzz surrounding these new green trucks.\u00a0 They also feature a 12-speed automatic transmission and are 15,000 lbs lighter than the lightest trucks on the road, which translates into optimum fuel economy.\u00a0 With speed governors in place, we anticipate a 10% reduction in fuel over the 10-speed manual transmission day cabs being replaced.<\/p>\n

The Cascadia was also built for optimum driver comfort and safety.\u00a0 This month our drivers spent over 2 hours in training with Freightliner.\u00a0 Each was each given a chance to test-drive the pilot truck and one lucky driver participated in a test run from a Brewery. \u00a0The response has been very positive.\u00a0 Because of the automatic transmission, drivers are able to have both hands on the wheel, and the \u201ccreeper mode\u201d eliminates the wear and tear on the truck and the driver in stop-and-go traffic.\u00a0 Driver fatigue and repetitive strain injuries are greatly reduced.\u00a0 In fact, one of the drivers is even rethinking his plans for retirement.\u00a0 The only negative comment has been that we should have gotten these trucks years ago!\u00a0 (You\u2019ll have to take that one up with Freightliner fellas.)<\/p>\n

The \u201cvirtual Technician<\/b><\/a>\u201d program is another feature of the new green machines that we are really excited about because it will help us take customer service to another level.\u00a0A good maintenance program has always been the key to minimizing breakdowns and downtime which is paramount to on-time delivery.\u00a0 However, we don\u2019t live in a perfect world and even the best maintenance program can\u2019t eliminate every potential problem.\u00a0 This is where the Virtual Technician program comes in.<\/p>\n

Trucks are equipped with an on-board computer remotely connected to a diagnostics center at Freightliner.\u00a0 If a warning light goes off, or the driver senses a problem, a qualified technician at Freightliner can perform an immediate analysis and advise the driver or fleet manager as to how best to proceed.\u00a0 Should servicing be required urgently, Freightliner will provide Biagi Bros with a directory of the closest approved service centers, as well as inventory information regarding the availability of parts and how long the repair should take.\u00a0\u00a0 Because problems can be diagnosed in real time, our fleet management team can make well informed decisions. If a second truck needs to be dispatched, we will be able to arrange it right away.\u00a0 Anything that can be done to keep on schedule and reduce down time means better business for our customers and for us.<\/p>\n

At Biagi Bros, we want to do all that we can to promote the success of our customers.\u00a0 Going leaner and greener with the new 2015 Freightliner Cascadias is helping us do just that.<\/p>\n
