Wabash announced the 2026 model year DuraPlate Dry Van, featuring enhancements designed to elevate performance and value for customers. A key new feature is the Webb Vortex Drum with Wear Indicator (WI), which is engineered to improve brake performance and extend brake life by up to 25 percent. Brake systems are a critical and costly component of fleet maintenance.
The Webb Vortex Drum incorporates patented cooling fins that dissipate heat more effectively than standard brake drums, reducing wear and maintaining optimal performance. Its built-in wear indicator allows fleet crews to quickly assess repair needs, thereby minimizing downtime. The drum is made in the U.S. and backed by a lifetime warranty.
Production of the 2026 model year DuraPlate Dry Van commenced on December 1, 2024. Wabash emphasized that these dry vans are engineered to deliver durability, efficiency, and value, supported by secured availability of key components through long-term domestic supplier agreements.
