A module covering commercial vehicle powertrains has been developed for Truck Equipment
201, an online series of course modules from the National Truck Equipment Association.
The NTEA designed the TE201 series as a follow up to its introductory TE101 course released in 2017. TE201 is “designed for those with technical knowledge seeking deeper understanding of specific topics outlined in TE101,” said a recent news release from the NTEA.
The second TE201 course, the powertrain module explores such areas as engine function and alternative propulsion, power and torque transfer by the transmission, and driveline and axle.
“This course goes in depth explaining related elements and applications in a straightforward, easy-to-understand format, serving as an effective resource for industry professionals,” the release quoted Susan Dehne, NTEA senior director of technical services.
The new module builds on the success of the first TE201 module launched in 2019 that reviews U.S., Canadian, and European Union certification processes and U.S. and Canadian label requirements, as well as motor vehicle safety standards.
The TE101 and TE201 courses are available through Elevate, the NTEA’s learning management system. For more information, visit www.ntea.com/te201.
