Meritor adds training van for Canadian market

Meritor adds training van for Canadian marketLAS VEGAS, NV – Meritor is equipping a new training van for dedicated use in Canada.

The truck, which will deliver instructor-led training on brakes, axles and driveline systems, will be the third in the company’s fleet in North America.

The program was launched last year, with two vans that visited every Canadian province and American state delivering training to over 2100 service managers, shop supervisors, service technicians, maintenance directors, drivers, and dealer-fleet trainers.

Those vans will now stay south of the border, and a third will hit the road in April to service the Canadian market exclusively.

Each of the Nissan high-roof NV3500 trucks, wrapped in unique Meritor trailer decals, will offer hands-on training on drivetrain and undercarriage aftermarket components. Meritor designed the training trucks to meet the immediate needs of North American customers for aftermarket products and systems.

The trucks are equipped with video monitors and working air systems boards, as well as actual brake hardware. For hands-on training purposes, each van will have actual cam and air disc brake hardware, friction and wheel ends, air valves, air dryers, Meritor WABCO RSS stability control systems, electronic diagnostics, automatic traction control, anti-lock brakes and collision mitigation systems.

Meritor designed the training based on customer input and numerous training requests to its Customer Care Center in Florence, Ky.
