Case Study: Crown Xpress Transport achieves fuel savings and driver comfort with Eaton UltraShift PLUS transmissions

Crown Xpress Transport - Customer Case Study

Crown Xpress Transport, a cross-border transportation and logistics company, faced the challenge of maintaining technologically advanced equipment and improving fuel efficiency across its fleet. To address this, they partnered with vendor Eaton to implement the UltraShift PLUS Linehaul Active Shifting (LAS) automated transmission in their new Kenworth trucks.

Eaton's UltraShift PLUS transmission provided a solution that delivered significant results. The implementation led to fuel consumption improvements of one to one-and-a-half miles per gallon, enhancing operational economy. Additionally, the transmissions improved driver comfort and safety by eliminating manual shifting, which reduced fatigue and allowed drivers to concentrate better on the road. The outstanding reliability and performance led Crown Xpress to plan for future orders of vehicles with Eaton transmissions.
