Drive
Fuel System
The standard GM LPG engine uses sequential port fuel injection. The LPG engine uses a vaporizer/regulator to convert the fuel from a liquid to a gas for vapor injection. The Engine Control Unit electronically regulates the fuel, air, and spark advance to provide the necessary torque. The engine control unit’s inputs include manifold air pressure, manifold air temperature, engine coolant temperature, accelerator pedal position, throttle position, engine speed, cam signal, and oxygen sensor signal.
Diesel Engines
The Yale Veracitor Kubota turbo charged diesel engines deliver outstanding reliability. A standard Kubota V3600 IDI-T 3.6 L (62kW@2400rpm) engine is offered for the Veracitor Base model and is available for unregulated markets. High power Kubota V3800 E4 3.8L (70 kW@2200rpm) engine is offered for the Veracitor Base and is available for regulated markets. The Advance Veracitor Value model is coupled with the Techtronix 332 3-speed transmission to suit the more arduous applications. The Kubota V3800 E4 3.8L engine represents the latest technology in off-highway engines. It is turbocharged, with charge air intercooling and an electronically controlled high pressure common rail fuel system. The Stage IIIB Kubota 3.8L diesel engine meets the stringent emissions regulations by using a number of technologies including cooled exhaust gas recirculation, charge air cooling, and an active regenerating Diesel particulate filter (DPF) which reduces soot levels by 90% to 0.025g/kWh.
The Techtronix 300 series
Techtronix 332 includes all the features of the standard electronic powershift transmission. In addition, Auto Deceleration is accomplished through the controlled application of the clutch packs. Controlled power reversals (below 11.3 kph) are managed by precisely regulating engine speed to reduce driveline stress during directional changes. Inching is controlled electronically.
Drive Axle
The drive axles are designed to withstand heavy loads and absorb shocks. The wheel hubs rotate on large tapered roller bearings. The drive shaft transmits rotational torque to the drive axle from the engine and transmission. Transmission torque is distributed through planetary gear reduction and an industrial hypoid ring gear and pinion differential assembly. The drive axle is a “self contained” assembly that is isolated from the transmission by the drive shaft and heavy-duty rubber isolators. The axle shafts utilise a “rolled fillet” root spline design for increased resistance to torsion stress. A magnetic sump plug is used to collect any metal particles that are circulating in the axle oil, preventing component wear.
