Electronic Accelerator Pedal Assemblies and Environmental Considerations

An electronic accelerator pedal has been designed for use on heavy trucks with on-board electronics requiring accelerator position input. The one-piece assembly is a floor mounted treadle design with all required electronics and wiring protected behind the instrument panel. The assembly also has been designed to operate, or be operated by, mechanical devices outside of the cab. It is these features, and others, which allow this assembly to satisfy the concerns and needs of all activities which must interface with the accelerator system.
