Fortune 500 automobile integrated systems and modules supplier ArvinMeritor has unveiled the Meritor MXL (Meritor Extended Lube), a new series of greaseable drivelines with 100,000-mile lubrication intervals and a three-year, 300,000-mile warranty in linehaul service.
The Meritor MXL will enter production this summer and be available on new trucks or able to retrofit using genuine parts from authorized Meritor aftermarket channels.
The new driveline joins the RPL permanently-lubricated driveline in the Meritor family of driveline products for commercial vehicles.
The company said that an extended lubrication interval reduces maintenance costs and increases truck operators' uptime. At 100,000 miles, the MXL's lubrication interval is twice as long as other conventional, greaseable drivelines.
It also aligns with recommended lubrication intervals of other chassis components in linehaul vocations.
