Case Study: Star Truck Rentals improves fleet reliability and fuel efficiency with Eaton UltraShift HV

Midwesterner Values Eaton Automation

Star Truck Rentals, a long-established vehicle and transportation company based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, needed a way to reduce costly breakdowns caused by inexperienced drivers in its rental fleet. To address this challenge, the company turned to Eaton and specified Eaton’s UltraShift® HV automated transmission for its medium-duty trucks.

With Eaton’s UltraShift HV, Star Truck Rentals improved driveline protection, simplified driving with a two-pedal automated design, and helped drivers focus on the road instead of shifting. Eaton’s solution also supported better fuel economy and safety, and Star Truck Rentals said it has continued to spec Eaton’s automated transmissions for years because of the product performance and Eaton’s proactive customer support.
