PORTLAND, Ore. – August 21, 2014 – Alliance Truck Parts, a leading all-makes parts brand in the commercial transportation industry, has expanded its clutch line to include four medium-duty clutches as well as seven updated EZ-Assist clutches for the heavy-duty market.

These new clutches are all now compatible with newer model-year engines. In addition, the new EZ-Assist clutches are even more durable with improved aftermarket facing, durable power threads on adjusting rings, and quick adjusting mechanisms.

“We have received numerous requests from our customers and our dealers to carry clutches for newer engines. Now, with this expansion, Alliance clutches are available to a wider range of customers with medium- and heavy-duty engines. Plus, they are more durable than ever.” said Wayne Turner, aftermarket product marketing manager for Daimler Trucks North America. “We ask that all customers who are considering a new Alliance clutch speak to their local dealer and consider the engine flywheel bore size and torque ratings for the best fit.”

All Alliance clutches are backed by a 1-year/unlimited-mile nationwide warranty serviceable at more than 800 locations including Freightliner, Sterling, Western Star and Thomas Built Buses dealerships in the U.S. and Canada, and Travel Centers of America and Petro locations nationwide.

The complete line of Alliance clutches is also currently featured in Truck Bucks℠, Daimler Trucks North America’s new parts and service rewards program.  Interested customers can sign up for Truck Bucks online to receive a special offer on Alliance clutches through the end of the year.
