One of the
largest integrated sugar company in Indonesia will upgrade the fleet
with a
more-powerful truck. The company select Isuzu Giga Truck series to
handle the transportation in the sugar cane plantation to the sugar
mill; the trucks will operated as triple trailer trucks.
The company
concern to the safety level when the fleets operated in the sugar cane
plantation. To achieve the safety level, the company needed to ensure
the fleet will running at the speed range; to this purpose the company
decide to install the trucks with a speed limiter.
Conventional
speed limiter use mechanical limiter to control the stroke of the
accelerator pedal. Another old type use a solenoid valve to hold fuel
flow to the engine when speed exceed the set value. These conventional
type will influence
engine performance and unstable control operation. It also will be
complicated when installation and inaccurate setting.
Netra propose an advanced technology
speed limiter as solution. This electronic speed limiter will work with
Isuzu truck's ECU (Electronic Control Unit). Speed limiter will monitor
vehicle's speed continuously. When the speed reach the limit, speed
limiter will send a flag to the ECU, and the ECU will hold the signal
from accelerator pedal to the value. This procedure is not influence
engine performance.
To meet with the manufacturing
standard, Isuzu had make a trial and test to the speed limiter; for
installation, safety and engine performance. Netra Speed Limiter pass
the test, successfully installed and working for Isuzu Giga Truck.
