What is the Neway AD?
Neway AD is a drive-axle air-ride suspension listed by SAF-HOLLAND for severe vocational use. Its parallelogram arrangement uses conventional torque and track rods, and the manufacturer lists single, tandem and tridem configurations. It is a distinct design from ADZ.
What matters in a comparison
For a Neway AD truck, collect the complete suspension identification, axle arrangement and ride-height specification. Compare those records with the installed body and intended work. Off-highway approval in product literature does not authorize any load or body combination. A qualified chassis assessment should consider the whole vehicle before a change in duty or equipment is made.
Questions to take to the supplier
- Which AD configuration is installed?
- What ride height and body application were approved?
- Does the proposed work match the original specification?
