Colmar, Pennsylvania – Dorman Products is ready to tackle the lack of trucking parts available for truckers due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. The company announced that its HD Solutions group has increased manufacturing and delivery of certain parts that are in need for customers medium and heavy-duty trucks.
The pandemic has decreased the inventory of parts available for truckers across North America. This decline has severely impacted operations and processes for many customers, especially with critical replacement components unavailable. Specifically, those who need to properly maintain diesel engine exhaust emission systems have struggled to find supply in many locations.
“A torn gasket shouldn’t keep a truck off the road, but that’s exactly what’s happening,” explained Daniel Simon, HD Solutions Product Manager. “The pandemic has caused a spike in demand for manufactured goods of all kinds and the raw materials and components needed to make them, which has constrained the capacity of truck manufacturers and the logistics systems that rely on those trucks.”
With high demand, Dorman responded by ramping up its production and utilizing its global supply chain to ensure that medium and heavy-duty trucks are receiving the components they need, when they need them.
“Dorman has increased production and distribution of the emissions sensors, NOx (Nitrogen Oxide) sensors, clamps, and gaskets that often fatigue and fail on hardworking commercial trucks,” noted Simon. “Most important of all, they’re available now, so our customers can keep their trucks rolling.”
Dorman HD Solutions currently offers over 2,000 direct replacement parts, assisting many customers when their exhaust aftertreatment parts fail. Dorman HD Solutions is highly accessible throughout the continent, with an extensive number of dealers and independent truck repair centres scattered across North America.
