Litens Automotive Group has announced it has successfully introduced their newest Heavy Duty OAD pulley (Overrunning Alternator Decoupler), a.k.a. “The Monster”, to many transit authorities throughout the U.S. & Canada.
Litens is the OE supplier of OAD pulleys that are currently supplied throughout the Light and Heavy Duty market segments. They have globally produced more than 35 Million units last year alone.
Multiple transit properties have tested the OAD pulley for themselves and are amazed. They are now re-ordering due to the exceptional fuel economy gains (up to 5 percent) and the remarkable belt and tensioner calming response that only the Monster OAD can provide. A simple 5 mins installation translates into the elimination of accessory drive belt breakage, less engine component maintenance, all while saving money at the pump.
One global OE bus manufacturer will equip the majority of its Cummins L9 engines with the Monster OADs - this model year.
Customers have touted “when touching the outside of two buses at the same time…much less vibration can be felt in the OAD equipped bus."
The Monster OAD is available for immediate retrofits from the following aftermarket distributors in Canada & throughout the USA: Elreg, Mondial, ESS, B&C and Romaine Electric.
