Ultra-Custom Semi Trucks (Gallery)

Thu, 15 May 2008 17:16:28 -0600

If a custom vehicle is something to see, a custom semi is something else--something much, much more. This brilliantly illustrated book celebrates the time, energy, patience, hard work, and skill that go into these monumental rolling works of art. The author, who has spent a quarter of a century photographing and writing about semi trucks, takes readers behind the scenes in a semi customizing shop. There she surveys eye-popping examples of themes for custom construction and gives readers a rare close-up look at how the custom semi goes from inspiration to road-ready masterpiece. As interesting for its technical insights as it is for its fantastic photographs, her book is a fitting tribute to this pinnacle of automotive art.

Semi-Trucks of the 1950s: A Photo Gallery

Thu, 15 May 2008 17:16:29 -0600

After WWII Americans were anxious to re-stoke the economy after a long “make-do with what you have” dry spell. By the 1950s new highways were being built, new trucking companies were being formed and old ones revived. Americans were buying newly-styled cars and the latest technologies once again. Semi-trucks helped pave the way for this huge growth spurt in America with dependable trucks built by Mack, GMC, Chevrolet, Ford, Dodge, International, White Freightliner, Peterbilt, Kenworth, Diamond T, Reo, Autocar, Brockway, Sterling and others, many using the increasingly popular diesel engines made by Buda, Hercules, Waukesha, and Cummins, which helped their heavy loads haul quicker. Ron Adams portrays this booming era with over 300 superb photos of trucks hauling cement, fuel, and a variety of goods to enthusiastic Americans.

The World's Greatest Working Trucks: The Best of the West (The World's Greatest Trucks)

Thu, 15 May 2008 17:16:34 -0600

Travelling through the states of the West, whether by Peterbilt of VW bug is an uplifting and broadening experience. The expansive beauty is matched only by the friendliness of the people. Ths steep grades and unpredictable weather the transportation industry faces in the West have combined to craft an especially resilient breed of industry giants. In the pages of this book Earl Johnson has photographed some of these companies and the owner operators who contribute to their rolling power. He spent three years in pursuit of the perfect shot, which means the precise time a truck in that exact location will be lit just right: the three elements necessary for a great photo. Even the trucks shot at the Great Salt Lake City Truck Show had a very narrow window of "shootability".

The 2006-2011 World Outlook for Diesel, Semi-Diesel, and Dual-Fuel Engines for Automobiles, Highway Trucks, and Buses

Thu, 15 May 2008 17:16:38 -0600

WHAT IS LATENT DEMAND AND THE P.I.E.?

The concept of latent demand is rather subtle. The term latent typically refers to something that is dormant, not observable, or not yet realized. Demand is the notion of an economic quantity that a target population or market requires under different assumptions of price, quality, and distribution, among other factors. Latent demand, therefore, is commonly defined by economists as the industry earnings of a market when that market becomes accessible and attractive to serve by competing firms. It is a measure, therefore, of potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) or total revenues (not profit) if a market is served in an efficient manner. It is typically expressed as the total revenues potentially extracted by firms. The âmarketâ is defined at a given level in the value chain. There can be latent demand at the retail level, at the wholesale level, the manufacturing level, and the raw materials level (the P.I.E. of higher levels of the value chain being always smaller than the P.I.E. of levels at lower levels of the same value chain, assuming all levels maintain minimum profitability).

The latent demand for diesel, semi-diesel, and dual-fuel engines for automobiles, highway trucks, and buses is not actual or historic sales. Nor is latent demand future sales. In fact, latent demand can be lower either lower or higher than actual sales if a market is inefficient (i.e., not representative of relatively competitive levels). Inefficiencies arise from a number of factors, including the lack of international openness, cultural barriers to consumption, regulations, and cartel-like behavior on the part of firms. In general, however, latent demand is typically larger than actual sales in a country market.

For reasons discussed later, this report does not consider the notion of âunit quantitiesâ, only total latent revenues (i.e., a calculation of price times quantity is never made, though one is

The 2007-2012 World Outlook for Diesel, Semi-Diesel and Dual-Fuel Engines Excluding Automotive, Highway Truck, Bus, and Tank Engines

Thu, 15 May 2008 17:16:41 -0600

This study covers the world outlook for diesel, semi-diesel and dual-fuel engines excluding automotive, highway truck, bus, and tank engines across more than 200 countries. For each year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the country in question (in millions of U.S. dollars), the percent share the country is of the region and of the globe. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a country vis-à-vis others. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each country and across countries, latent demand estimates are created. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.

This study was initiated as a result of measured substantial permanent deformation in the floor beams of over-the-road trailers. Excessive deformations of the floor beams result in premature failure of the wood decking inside the trailer. The damage to the floor beams can damage paper rolls during loading resulting in charges to the hauler for the damaged paper.

WHAT IS LATENT DEMAND AND THE P.I.E.?

The concept of latent demand is rather subtle. The term latent typically refers to something that is dormant, not observable, or not yet realized. Demand is the notion of an economic quantity that a target population or market requires under different assumptions of price, quality, and distribution, among other factors. Latent demand, therefore, is commonly defined by economists as the industry earnings of a market when that market becomes accessible and attractive to serve by competing firms. It is a measure, therefore, of potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) or total revenues (not profit) if a market is served in an efficient manner. It is typically expressed as the total revenues potentially extracted by firms. The “market” is defined at a given level in the value chain. There can be latent demand at the retail level, at the wholesale level, the manufacturing level, and the raw materials level (the P.I.E. of higher levels of the value chain being always smaller than the P.I.E. of levels at lower levels of the same value chain, assuming all levels maintain minimum profitability).

The latent demand for diesel, semi-diesel, and dual-fuel engines for automobiles, trucks, and buses is not actual or historic sales. Nor is latent demand future sales. In fact, latent demand can be lower either lower or higher than actual sales if a market is inefficient (i.e., not representative of relatively competitive levels). Inefficiencies arise from a number of factors, including the lack of international openness, cultural barriers to consumption, regulations, and cartel-like behavior on the part of firms. In general, however, latent demand is typically larger than actual sales in a country market.

For reasons discussed later, this report does not consider the notion of “unit quantities”, only total latent revenues (i.e., a calculation of price times quantity is never made, though one is implied
