Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

If you are cycling your trucks on 10 yrs are you even looking at the engine? I turned my trucks over on 10 yrs stretching to 15 when times were tougher and can only remember working on one truck engine. This was before DEF though

I'm the same way. I'm not one of those new car each year types and plan on my cars for ten years at which point they are still useable - then again I'm not an 18-year-old gunner slamming around the ranges anymore.

What I meant is that if you design a vehicle line to run ten or twenty years then 200 vehicles built in 2026 might have a different engine and related parts than the same truck coming off the line in 2033 because that original 2026 engine isn't being built anymore. You'll have the same chassis but it will have to compensate for engine mounts, a transmission and drive train connection that might be different.

It's not insurmountable but it can lead to a spare parts issue downstream for the older vehicles.

Notwithstanding that, I think that is the only way to go for our vehicle fleets. We need long run, low rate production lines that stay open indefinitely, if necessary as crown corporations or arsenals.
