Redline Detection, the industry leader in heavy duty diagnostic leak detection equipment, announced they have been chosen by Volvo Trucks North America and Mack Trucks to provide essential equipment that will be used to service Volvo and Mack branded trucks at all of the company’s world-class dealer network locations. Redline is demonstrating the new Volvo Mack HD PowerSmoke Diagnostic Leak Detector at the Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week (HDAW), Booth No. 336, in Las Vegas.

“Volvo Mack is leading the field in adopting new technology to maximize uptime and increase maintenance efficiency. This equipment will speed maintenance and repair, as well as ultimately increase fuel efficiency, lower operating costs, and enhance Volvo Mack’s already worldclass customer service.” said Redline Detection Executive Vice President, Alex Parker.

Transport vehicles cover millions of over-road miles, often in grueling conditions and inclement weather, and the world’s best-made vehicles, tight when they rolled off the assembly line, suffer wear and tear over time. HD PowerSmoke simulates the boost load of a heavy duty engine with the engine safely off, quickly pinpointing all upstream component faults caused by those time-worn, jarred, cracked components that are the root cause of hard-to-diagnose after- treatment problems.

HD PowerSmoke creates a dense, highly visible vapor at a variable pressure in the 2-20 PSI range that can test the entire system and pinpoint unseen air leaks in just minutes, saving valuable time in preventive maintenance and repair, dramatically increasing uptime. The visible vapor is free of dyes and contaminants so it’s safe for the technician, safe for the vehicle, and safe for the environment.

“The Volvo brand is synonymous with safety,” Parker said.

“Redline has developed a reputation for engineering custom equipment solutions for the world’s leading heavy duty OEMsthat improve performance, increase fuel economy, enhance customer service, and increase uptime. We take enormous pride in delivering top quality equipment, on time, on budget, every time” Parker said.
