Osram Truckstar – twice the light, twice the life

Now available is the full range of the recently launched OSRAM TRUCKSTAR premium, Original Equipment 24 volt bulbs for HGV and commercial vehicles. These bulbs “lighten” the load for truck operators by delivering up to 100% longer service life – and up to 100% more light on the road compared with conventional 24 volt bulbs.

John Lancaster, OSRAM’s automotive division business unit manager comments, “OSRAM TRUCKSTAR is the ultimate vibration and shock resistant 24 volt bulb, which has been specifically designed for the toughest truck operations. These premium heavy-duty bulbs deliver an unrivalled range of benefits to please vehicle operators, drivers and accountants.”

TRUCKSTAR’s unique package of benefits include:-
- a halving of unscheduled downtime and labour cost for bulb replacement
- an improvement in road safety, thanks to TRUCKSTAR’s superb, up to 100%
greater on-road lighting performance.

The OSRAM TRUCKSTAR range now includes both 24 volt headlight and auxiliary bulbs. These full E-approved upgrade bulbs deliver up to 100% improved lighting and bulb life compared with the conventional bulbs fitted as original equipment by vehicle manufacturers.

TRUCKSTAR achieves its up to 100% longer life and 100% greater illumination capability with its durable, patented single-coil technology, which provides exceptional resistance to vibration and shocks. This patented single-coil design is also key to TRUCKSTAR’s exceptional lighting performance.

By increasing bulb life by up to 100% the OSRAM TRUCKSTAR delivers the potential for major cost and downtime savings. The average cost of replacing a truck headlight bulb is £40* (made up of bulb cost, labour, vehicle downtime and driver’s lost time). Thus, it is estimated that during a year, an OSRAM TRUCKSTAR equipped truck could typically save over £100 when compared to a truck equipped with conventional bulbs. Longer service life before failure also reduces the likelihood of an OSRAM TRUCKSTAR equipped truck failing an MOT test or being pulled over by the Police or VOSA inspectors for an inoperative light, with consequent delay and expense.

In addition to their unique, major cost-saving characteristics OSRAM TRUCKSTAR 24 volt headlight bulbs also provide up to 100% greater on-road lighting performance. With OSRAM TRUCKSTAR headlight bulbs the truck’s driver will enjoy both better close distance illumination and up to 40m greater penetration on dip beam. This greatly improved level of illumination plays a major role in improving night-time road safety and also in reducing driver stress and fatigue levels.
