The CAN bus communication reduces the amount of components used compared to conventional drive systems: wear items like contactors and switches are eliminated, up to twenty cables are replaced with a simple control loom. CAN bus communication is quicker, more reliable and keeps the operator informed about the truck's condition.

A closer look on the CAN-bus technology

Conventional drive systems are based on switch activated controls in the tiller arm. Drive systems message inputs are transferred to the controller via many electrical cables – that are prone to wear.

Toyota Powerdrive features switchless electronics in the tiller arm. Drive requests are communicated to the logic card via a magnetic sensor (no actual contact = no wear). This proven CAN-bus system ensures increased reliability of the drive system when in use.
