In a two-day delivery kind of world, fleets are under a lot of pressure. Fast deliveries. Minimizing downtime. Tight budgets. It’s a lot.
All of that means that fleets need to run as efficiently as possible, and that starts with the design of the truck itself. To meet the high demands fleets are up against, today’s trucks are designed to be as aerodynamic and fuel efficient as possible. Gone are the boxy, clunky cab designs of the past. New, sleek modern models have improved aerodynamics to combat wind resistance and improve fuel efficiency. Roof fairings and exhaust pipes have been redesigned and skirting has been added to redirect airflow that would otherwise slow truck speed and guzzle gas.
However, new designs bring new challenges. Redirecting cooling airflow really turns up the heat on components found under the cab. This is especially true when it comes to truck batteries. Hot battery boxes can cause thermal runaway within the battery which leads to much shorter life and even complete failure. And what happens when a battery fails? Nothing, until you replace the battery.
To avoid the wasteful downtime that comes from unexpected truck battery replacement, it is important to choose the right kind of technology for your fleet. Fahrenheit truck batteries are built with exclusive Thermal Shielding Technology that protects internal components from heat damage and extends battery life. That keeps trucks on the road, deliveries on time, and budgets out of the red.
