Modern-day commercial vehicles are no longer simple machines, but complex instruments that have hundreds of components talking to one another. These greater power demands put more pressure on the battery. Yuasa understand that to remain cost efficient, the road to business success is to minimise fleet downtime, whilst maintaining high levels of service and productivity.
In many cases, batteries don’t just provide starting power, but also cyclic performance. This cyclic ability powers all electrical items from on-board toilets and TVs to washing facilities and fridges whilst the engine is switched off. For all commercial vehicle applications, premium performance, reliability and durability is crucial.
Yuasa YBX batteries are the perfect choice and specially engineered for all applications.
All Yuasa batteries are manufactured to Original Equipment (OE) specification, which is why all the world’s top vehicle marques fit Yuasa as standard.
Yuasa’s YBX Super Heavy Duty range for commercial vehicles has been developed to meet the needs of leading manufacturing partners, and for a variety of markets, including:
- HGV & truck batteries
- Bus batteries
- Coach batteries
- Agricultural batteries
- Construction batteries
- Municipal vehicle batteries
- Fire engine batteries
HGV and truck batteries
Minimising downtime is paramount for your business. At Yuasa, we know reliability, durability and quality are key for all aspects of operations. And your battery selection should be no different.
A lot of factors come into play when choosing the right battery, including whether the HGV has a sleeper cab, the truck has a tail lift, whether the vehicle is used for long or short haul journeys or if it has any additional electrical accessories. Other considerations include the vibration resistance required and if the vehicle has a battery fitted in an end of chassis location.
For heavy goods vehicles used for long haul journeys with frequent overnight usage, Yuasa recommend the YBX7000EFB range.
A suitable range for trucks with a tail lift used for multi-drop, short haul journeys is the YBX5000 range.
