Penske Truck Makes Collision Avoidance and Air Disc Brakes Standard on Rental Fleet
Penske Truck Rental has announced it is making collision avoidance systems and air disc brakes its standard spec on commercial tractors within its rental fleet.
“These added vehicle features underscore our commitment to over-the-road safety for our commercial truck rental customers and their drivers,” said Don Mikes, senior vice president of rental at Penske. “These systems can help commercial drivers avoid collisions and the braking system provides additional stopping power when needed.”
Penske has ordered more than 2,000 commercial semi-trucks from Freightliner, Volvo and Navistar with the new spec. The 2018 model year units are set to begin going into service and will be available for rental starting as early as February. Additional rental units with this increased safety spec will continue to come into service as Penske’s fleet is replenished.
With one of the newest rental truck fleets, Penske provides businesses with sleeper and day cab semi-tractors, straight trucks, flatbeds, refrigerated vans, trailers and more. Penske rents top brands of light-duty, medium-duty and heavy-duty commercial vehicles including: Ford, GMC, Hino, Isuzu, Freightliner, International and Volvo.
The company operates a fleet of more than 60,000 units.
