“The committee was impressed by the DD15's use of turbo compounding, which captures previously-wasted energy and converts it into productive power, improving fuel efficiency and performance,” said TWNA awards committee chairman James Menzies.

Abelson, senior technical editor for the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association’s Landline and TravelCenters of America’s Road King magazines, won the award in recognition of his member recruitment and TMC development efforts, the organization said.
