Truck fires may or may not be more prevalent today, but they are surely catastrophic when they occur.

In the old days, when trucks would catch fire, it was usually nothing more than burning up some wires of paint before a fire extinguisher would be used to put out the flames.  Nowadays, trucks are made of all sorts of composite materials that truck fires spread more quickly and are more difficult to put out.  Today’s truck parts are more flammable – especially cab and sleeper trim – that fires can be extremely dangerous.

Truck repair costs for fire damage have also increased.  Truck damages can range in the neighborhood of $100,000 to repair a fire ravaged truck.  Extremely hot fires can even melt the truck tires down to the ground!

The perception in the trucking industry is that truck fires are almost always started by electrical problems.  Quite simply, shorts overheat locally and then spread to flammable truck materials.

While electrical issues are often the culprit when it comes to truck fires, issues with truck wheel ends are also a major cause.  Dragging truck brakes, truck wheel bearing failures and turbo failures can also ignite fires.

Another cause of truck fires are the cargo.  Truck cargo that shifts, is not assembled properly or that is incompatible is also a potential cause for fire.

In a recent FixonRoad.com™ blog entry, it was reported that tractor trailer and body makers have been increasing spending on research and development to advance truck parts and truck products to improve efficiency.

Powered steerable axles are in the works as well. These innovative truck parts allow long box trailers to go where they were unable to go before and should also reduce truck repair and service due to less wear and tear.

Here is some more information about advancements in the trucking industry aimed at improving the trucking industry as a whole.  A new hybrid dump trailer is on the way and if it passes the truck testing standards – it may start production later this year.

The state of the art designed flat/half-round profile will yield 2 cubic yards more volume than a traditional straight half-round trailer of the same length.  It also weighs a lot less.

Powered steerable axles are in the works as well.  These innovative truck parts allow long box trailers to go where they were unable to go before and should also reduce truck repair and service due to less wear and tear.  Also, the chip trailers carry wood waste from left over timber cutting and transport it to co-generation plants to assist in the production of electricity.

Trailers are being modified to be more stable.  Tandem trailers feature all wheels of the truck remaining on the ground while the trailer rises.  This trucking modification makes the trailer more stable during tipping than other trucks whose forward axles rise with the body.
