Redline's 'PowerSmoke' Detects In-Cab Carbon Monoxide Threats

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Redline Detection said its HD PowerSmoke ensures the safety of truck and bus drivers by eliminating the threat of toxic carbon monoxide fumes entering the cabin.

In fleets where HD PowerSmoke is not in use, odorless carbon monoxide gas can escape through undetected leaks in the exhaust system into the cabin, with only visual inspection by technicians able to detect leaks.

With use of the system, "fleet operators can focus on their business at hand, knowing the driver cabin/passenger compartments have been scanned for exhaust leaks and are fully sealed, and be confident that they have eliminated the associated liability from these leaks," Redline Executive Vice President Alex Parker said.

The company made the announcement at the Technology & Maintenance Council's annual meeting here.
