The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has denied an exemption to the manufacturer of a brake-lamp technology with a pulsating bulb feature intended to help reduce rear-end collisions with trucks and trailers.

The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance approved a new standard and procedure designed to govern inspections of autonomous commercial motor vehicles.

Earlier this year, as part of our Transport Topics Magazine Event Series, Formulate, we sat down with ºÚÁϳԹÏÍør Hogg, vice president of truck service at TravelCenters of America, to discuss the future of vehicle maintenance.

The recent introduction of the Navistar S13 engine with no EGR cooler and much less reliance on any form of EGR is remarkable.
