New Diesel Fuel Hits the Market
According to Automotive Fleet.com, by 2007, one
new diesel truck will emit just one sixtieth of the
tailpipe pollution as one produced in 1988. A decade
in the making, the reduction takes credit from a
combination of government initiatives; specifically,
imposed improvements in engine technology, and a
new ultra-low sulfur fuel - which is now available
nationwide
The fuel, already being consumed by over 8 million
diesel-powered buses and trucks in the United States
alone, is 97% cleaner than the original fuel its
replacing.
Even though the new diesel fuel can only account for
a 10% reduction in total fuel pipe emissions, in
combination with the new line of diesel engines
hitting the road, total tailpipe emissions can be
reduced by 95%, according to the National Resource
Defense Counsel (NRDC).
Moreover, owners of existing diesel trucks can also
benefit. Thanks to the new fuel, they now have the
option to install emission controls that can reduce
their total soot pollution by up to 90%.

VMAC To the Rescue!
Sauber Manufacturing's Assembly Shop relies on air.
So when Sauber's shop air compressor went down,
they had a problem. "We were having trouble with
the compressor in our 11-bay Assembly Shop. Then,
one day, its completely down." As a result, Sauber
was looking at a 3-day turnaround for a replacement
unit, and a shop full of paid employees with no air
power.
Enter their Demo Truck.
Outfitted with the VR70 UNDERHOOD Air
Compressor,
Sauber's 5.9L Dodge demo truck powered up the
tools and the shop was up and running. "We ran a
supply line from the truck to the supply line in the
shop and waited to see what happened - when we
flipped the switch, it powered up the air system and
everyone when back to work. The unit ran flawlessly
for three, 9 ½ hour shifts. All the air tools were back
in full function."

Optical Comparator
When pumping 150 cfm through a tool the size of a
pop can, you want "peace-of-mind" knowing your
equipment's up to snuff. VMAC's Quality Control is on
top of this, ensuring every unit meets the highest
standard of excellence. To do this, they need the
help of state-of-the-art equipment. State-of-the-art
equipment such as the Tesa 300 Optical Comparator.
Here's how it works. Al Gregory in Quality places a
standard quarter-inch bolt on the Optical Comparator
glass table. On the high-resolution display screen, Al
sees a slight depression in the bolt's thread that
doesn't match up to the engineering's specifications.
The depression is 1/1000th of an inch. That's the
beauty of the Optical Comparator, it can display an
object thirty times smaller than a human hair, all on
high res digital video. With equipment like the Optical
Comparator, Quality ensures every design that comes
out of VMAC Production matches every component
coming out of Engineering - no matter how small.
VMAC assures quality in its products, right down to
the 1/1000th of an inch.
