To investigate fuel economy of actual road traffic currently experienced in Japan by analyzing the records of sixteen truck drivers. In order to characterize the driving style of each driver, energy consumption relating to road load are integrated from the time series records for each data set and compared with actual fuel economy results. Through this study, a wide range of driving records are analyzed to determine fuel economy in actual road traffic. The consumed energy (kwh/km), which is the sum of road load defined in this paper was found to be the dominant value in determining fuel economy in actual road traffic.

Driver side frontal airbags have been introduced on Class 8 trucks to enhance occupant protection during a frontal vehicle crash. The advantages of using three point seat belt and driver side airbag systems are demonstrated through dynamic sled testing. A Class 8 conventional cab environment used in a simulated front end crash is investigated using a HYGE sled.

This SAE Standard specifies the requirements to help prevent inadvertent and to discourage deliberate electrical connection at the starter motor solenoid or starter relay which may result in the starter pinion engaging the ring gear. This document applies to off-road, self-propelled work machines, as identified in SAE J1116, which have the potential of powered movement as a direct result of the starter pinion engaging the ring gear.
