Daimler Standardizes Allison's FuelSense Neutral at Stop Technology for Trucks

Daimler Truck North America (DTNA) has announced the standardization of Allison's FuelSense 2.0 Neutral at Stop technology for select Freightliner and Western Star truck models. This feature, designed to reduce fuel consumption and emissions, minimizes engine load when vehicles are stopped, allowing for more efficient fuel use. The technology will be included in models such as the Freightliner M2 106 Plus and Western Star 47X, benefiting fleets with demanding stop-start operations. Mary Aufdemberg, DTNA's general manager, noted that the implementation supports efforts to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. Additionally, Allison Transmission's Rohan Barua emphasized the commitment to improving fleet performance without sacrificing reliability. The Neutral at Stop feature is part of a broader suite that aims to achieve up to 6% fuel savings.
