Customer Case Study — Alternator 397-3701100 YUCHAI in Action

A regional logistics operator in Southeast Asia managing a fleet of 120+ YUCHAI-powered heavy trucks was experiencing recurring alternator failures every 4,000–5,000 operating hours. The unreliable aftermarket units they sourced previously led to roadside breakdowns, costly emergency repairs, and missed delivery windows that threatened key contracts.

After switching to the Alternator 397-3701100 YUCHAI supplied by METTLEAD Truck Parts, the fleet reported the following results over a 12-month evaluation period:

• 62% reduction in charging system-related breakdowns.
• Average service life exceeded 9,500 hours — nearly double their previous supplier’s units.
• 17% lower annual maintenance cost per vehicle on electrical system components.
• Zero voltage regulator failures across all 120 vehicles fitted with METTLEAD-supplied alternators.

Their procurement manager noted: “We tested the Alternator 397-3701100 YUCHAI from METTLEAD on 20 trucks first. Within six months, we converted the entire fleet. The consistency of quality and the pricing made it an obvious decision.”

This is the kind of measurable impact our parts deliver — not just on paper, but on the road, where it counts.
