Uncovering the Real Cost of Tariffs — and How to Keep Your Equipment Moving

Presented by Heavy Duty Transaxle x Meritor

Global tariffs, material shortages, and unpredictable lead times are reshaping the off-highway industry. For many operators, that means higher costs, delayed repairs, and equipment sitting idle when it’s needed most.

In this exclusive on-demand webinar, HDT and Meritor break down what’s really happening in the global drivetrain component market—and share proven strategies to protect your bottom line.

You’ll hear how leading fleets and maintenance teams are navigating today’s tariff-driven market, maintaining uptime despite volatility, and leveraging programs like Fast Track to reduce risk and accelerate turnaround times.

Key Problems Addressed

Rising Costs: Discover how average 50% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, and price hikes of 21-67% on critical parts, are impacting your bottom line.
Long Lead Times: Learn why manufacturers are still struggling with pandemic-era constraints, leading to parts being unavailable when you need them most.
Equipment Downtime: Understand the true cost of machines breaking down – from SLA penalties to massive productivity losses.
