Light trucks, vans wielding influence on future mobility
It’s absolutely nothing new for, say, writers and filmmakers: trying to predict the future. But auto and truck manufacturers and related suppliers are scrambling to do it, too — designing as much for tomorrow as for today. And in various ways, trucks and vans in the light vehicle categories, Classes 1-3, are playing a big role in these efforts, sometimes advancing them and sometimes holding them back.

MARSHALL, MI. The all-new flagship heavy duty transmission that’s come from Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Technologies, the Endurant, is “like what you’re seeing across our industry — mechanical devices are all becoming smart devices.” And in more ways than one, that transition in trucking to smart, connected devices that once upon a time were mechanical things is a one-way, no-turning-back proposition.
