Advanced Manufacturing
Our engineering team designs and builds digital mock-ups of every truck model long before the truck is assembled on the production line. Using these advanced simulations, we perfect the design, automate production processes and optimize robotics to meet exacting specifications. This level of advanced manufacturing ensures we produce the highest quality truck time and time again.
Setting the Standards of the Future
With zero waste to landfill, strict testing, calibration of robots for torque fasteners and other forms of automation, we produce high-quality trucks day after day using the latest in manufacturing technology including robotics and automated systems that achieve precise results.
Driving our robust manufacturing processes is DTNA’s Truck Operating System (TOS), which requires input from all disciplines of the organization at our manufacturing plants. This system ensures high performance and continuous improvement in meeting manufacturing’s core objectives: quality, lowered costs, increased safety, on-time delivery and employee morale.
A constant effort is made to understand the human factors in the production process and to institute changes that create an ever-safer workplace.
State-of-the-art automation such as paint robots and robotic welders help meet exacting standards. Sophisticated test equipment assures that vehicle electrical systems are consistent with specifications, and advanced information technology systems ensure that each customer request becomes part of the final vehicle. From creating a chassis that will serve as the perfect foundation for your vocational truck body and equipment, to optimizing every aspect of the truck’s design to cut down on drag and noise, you’re sure to receive a truck that’s been precisely manufactured to perform for years to come.
DTNA’s manufacturing plants represent a tremendous investment in machinery and technology but, in the end, people build our trucks, and our people are the most important part of the process. Our manufacturing team is made up of thousands of skilled, committed employees, each dedicated to the highest standards of workmanship and quality.
