International PTO System For years, International Trucks has off ered a ermarket PTO prep kits that allow for quick installation during upfi t- ting. " is prep-kit is integrated into the Diamond Logic electrical system which allows for a robust offi ng of body- chassis interlocks and safety features," Hanson said. With the new S13 Integrated Powertrain, Inter- national Trucks will include a factory- installed PTO system, which decreases upfi t- ting times. " e reduced upfi tting times are achieved by allowing the body company to focus on what they do best and that's hydraulics and body manufacturing while leaving the transmission and its associated components to the OEM," Hanson said. e PTO system will be installed in Huntsville, Alabama, where the S13 Integrated Powertrain is manufactured. is means that the body company doesn't need to open the transmis- sion's case to install the PTO, which can lead to leaks or other failures. e eMV from Interna- tional does not currently have a PTO system. However, the plan is to include this next year. "Next year, the eMV will have an integrated ePTO/ ePower system that will reduce upfi tting costs and time by allowing the body companies to access the chassis battery systems," Hanson said. Ford PPOB To avoid the need for an invertor or a generator, many customers want the Ford Pro Power OnBoard (PPOB). is system, available on F-150, F-150 hybrid, Super Duty, E-Transit and up to 9.6 kW of power on F-150 Light- ning, powers tools, lights or anything on a jobsite "For contractors who do not want to haul around a generator and risk it getting stolen from the bed, PPOB is a great feature," Lieberum said. "When you combine PPOB with the tailgate work surface, you have a mobile workshop. When combined with a bi-directional wallbox from Ford, F-150 Lightning can even power a house for days! en with 5G Wi-Fi in the can, you have a sanctuary to stay connected and get work done wherever you are.
