An “innovative” weight calculating resource is now available to members of the National Truck Equipment Association.
The NTEA has partnered with TruckScience to offer the resource at “at a discounted subscription rate,” said a recent news release.
“The TruckScience tool comes with a library of pre-populated specifications/drawings and features such as compliance indicators and drag-and-drop design,” the release said.
A global technology provider, TruckScience has been developing commercial vehicle software solutions since 1985. Upfitters, body builders, and dealers in 30 countries use its products, the release said.
Jens Hellberg, TruckScience managing director, said in the release that her company is proud to partner with the NTEA and is excited about showcasing the TruckScience app at the NTEA-organized Work Truck Show in Indianapolis. The show takes place March 5 to 8 as this edition is going to press.
In 2018, the NTEA released a web-based Vehicle Center of Gravity & Axle Weight Calculator that is available for free to association members only. The TruckScience apps provides even higher functionality and support for companies with complex needs.
Like the NTEA calculator, the TruckScience app accounts for bridge law, axle weights, and center of gravity — but it also includes payload optimization, spatial positioning, static rollover, turning ability, swing clearance, and much more.
“NTEA is pleased to collaborate with TruckScience to bring a cutting-edge vehicle design technology solution to the North American commercial vehicle industry,” Steve Carey, NTEA president and CEO, said in the release. “Through TruckScience, companies will be able to access a robust set of resources for certification requirements. The TruckScience systems provide additional analysis tools for addressing the needs of more complex vehicle upfits.”
A standard TruckScience annual subscription is $399 for NTEA members and $449 for nonmembers. NTEA members can receive a special launch offer of $299 for the first year. If combined with a $100 gift card available in NTEA’s booth 3400 at the 2019 Work Truck Show, the first-year subscription fee comes to $199.
