Lockwood's Product Watch: a bi-weekly report on the industry's newest products and services, collected and written by Rolf Lockwood. Plus recent goodies that you may not have seen before, such as worthy items that didn't get much of a marketing push at the time of their introduction. We'll cover it all.

Oh boy, here we go again. Being a mature fellow with many miles under my shoe leather, I should have known that the EGR vs. SCR battle was far from over. What was I thinking?
Truth be told, I just hoped it was over, never actually thought it possible in a skinny little marketplace so rife with competitive...

Things have been rather quiet lately on the hardware front, but then again it's summer so I shouldn't be surprised.
It's not as if there's no action at all out there, and in fact I had a message this morning from a friend who runs a pretty substantial municipal fleet south of the border. Seems he managed...

Natural gas has become what biodiesel was just a couple of years back, a politically popular source of fire in the bellies of the motors that we know and love. Don't count the bio option out, but its first iteration seems to have fizzled. In its place, at least on this continent, we now have natural gas. And...

Am I unreasonable to want this industry's technological development to be driven by engineering innovation and customer desire on their own?
Can we tolerate the endless intervention by government in determining how we move forward?
The answer to both questions is surely 'no' but I'm afraid it's a for...

As I searched my tiny head for a sentence that would lead this Product Watch issue compellingly, I decided on this one: Will it ever stop? And then I answered my own question within a millisecond by saying this: Of course not! Dumb question, Lockwood.
I refer to the seemingly endless array of new technolog...

Before I write anything else, my apologies for being a day late last time out. I'm blameless, I promise you, but I felt I should explain that we suffered a software glitch way in the background that scuttled the automated send-out. And for reasons that remained a mystery all day, we couldn't even do it manual...

Despite the dreaded code on my boarding pass that told the rabid security folks at the airport to give me everything but a cavity search, I got on a chartered plane last week with a bunch of International dealers and customers to tour Navistar's engine plant in Huntsville, Alabama. It wasn't a press event, so I...

Man, life's been busy in the last month or so. First, the Work Truck Show in mid-March, then Mid America late last month, and just this past week it was our own Truck World 2010. In each case, especially the first two, there was a ton of product news to report, but I haven't had the space in this little news...

Well, Louisville has come and gone for yet another year, so now I can get to work. In a way it marks the start of my year.
In one sense it's just a spot on the map of Kentucky but it's much more than that too. Say the city's name to a trucking person and it means the Mid-America Trucking Show, nothing els...

So here I am sitting in Louisville, Kentucky, exactly two weeks after penning my previous newsletter from a somewhat nicer hotel room in St. Louis. Writing in such places is tough, if you care to hear a tale of minor woe, not least because the desk chair’s never high enough. I’m sitting on two pillows as we ...
