As previously highlighted in PS, CANBUS is a communications standard, the advantage being that it is easier to connect different modules, and is comparable in many ways to ‘plug-and play’. Engine, transmitter, gearbox, and components such as valves can all be connected by simply plugging them in, and the technology is likely to make itself felt in many aspects of roro tractor operation, such as increasing pulling capacity, or ensuring that gear changes are as smooth as possible, thus reducing wear and tear on engine components.<\/p>\n
Kalmar believes that the CAN-BUS technology it is introducing on its new ‘I series’ tractors will make the driver’s job easier,enhance troubleshooting, increase service intervals, and help meet stricter environmental legislation. The company claims that the CAN-BUS technology of the type pioneered in the I series will enable drivers to carry out their tasks more quickly and easily; help provide more power and torque;and simplify electrical system maintenance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
At Kalmar the focus of recent development has been on the ongoing introduction of CAN-BUS control technology into its range of ro-ro tractors and terminal tractors. Kalmar and other manufacturers who are following its lead and introducing CANBUS technology believe that the many intelligent control features in CAN-BUS can help driver – and maintainers – do their jobs more effectively, and help make operation of ro-ro tractors safer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":6688,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[58],"tags":[],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-6687","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-container-cargo-handling"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6687","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6687"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6687\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6689,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6687\/revisions\/6689"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6688"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6687"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6687"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6687"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=6687"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
