Features include fuel economy gains of up to 5% and belt and tensioner calming response. A five-minute installation translates into the elimination of accessory drive belt breakage and less engine component maintenance.
One global OE bus manufacturer will equip the majority of its Cummins L9 engines with the Monster OADs — this model year, according to the company.
The Monster OAD™ is available for immediate retrofits from the following aftermarket distributors in Canada and the U.S.: Elreg, Mondial, ESS, B&C and Romaine Electric.
