Modern Diesel Technology Heavy Equipment Systems
Modern Diesel Technology Heavy Equipment Systems (MDT) series of textbooks debuted in 2007 as a means of addressing the learning requirements of schools and colleges whose syllabi used a modular approach to curricula. The initial intent was to provide comprehensive coverage of the subject matter of each title using ASE/NATEF learning outcomes and thus provide educatorsin programs that directly target a single certification field with a little more flexibility.
In addition, the series now includes two books that are ideal for students beginning their study of commercial vehicle technology. These two titles (Preventive Maintenance and Inspection and Diesel Engines) are written so that they can be used in high school programs. Each uses simple language and a no-nonsense approach suited for either classroom or self-directed study. That some high schools now option programs specializing in commercial vehicle technology is an enormous progression from the more general secondary school

In approaching this 2nd Edition revision of Modern Diesel Technology (MDT) Heavy Equipment Systems, the author team accepted the reality that the first edition was not used as a stand-alone textbook by Heavy Equipment specialty programs.For this reason, we made the decision to drop a couple of chapters that more or less repeated content already covered in Heavy Duty Truck Systems, which tends to be used as a companion to this book.
