For Sustainable Business, Collaboration is the New Competition

Consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies often find themselves boxed in by customer demand.

Intelligent oil management minimises the swirl of liquid in the final drive and thus reduces the friction loss from the gears turning in the oil bath. The New Final Drive axle completes the second generation of the Integrated Powertrain from Daimler Trucks and results in fuel savings of up to 6.5 percent for the Mercedes-Benz Actros compared with its predecessor.
