On display will be heavy-duty trucks featuring the MP engine series offered in two versions: axle-forward and axle-back. The company also introduces the Road Stability Advantage (RSA) electronic stability system, available for mixer applications on the Granite truck model. Designed to reduce incident potential and enhance profitability, the RSA uses the existing ABS wheel speed sensors, along with steering, yaw and lateral acceleration inputs, to deactivate the throttle and selectively apply the brakes when necessary to reduce rollover potential. See Booth C5469
On display is the Silent Series generator line, including the new Subaru Robin RG4300iS, claimed to be the first 4,300-watt inverter generator. The inverter technology reduces sound by running the engine at a slower speed for low power use and increasing speed as more power is required. A microcomputer controls the voltage and frequency of the power output, monitors the temperature of the electronics, and automatically cuts off the power output if necessary to prevent overloading and electrical shorts. See Booth C7489
