    Their rep told me that they had a couple of units on Acerts in the US at the moment for testing. The driver I spoke to loved it, said the truck was a dog before it was fitted and is now awesome, he didn't really know about fuel economy as the box screws up the calculation in the ECM and he doesn't work it out manually, as for reliability he had only had the box on for 80000km (the truck had done 500000km) towing a B-double and hadn't had any problem yet but its early days.
