The announcements were made during Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week.

The aftermarket portal - EatonPartsOnline - consolidates information from multiple locations and offers product research tools. It also allows customers to conduct business with Eaton via a new business-to-business interface.

“The new website and ordering capabilities are an integral part of helping our customers have more real-time information at their fingertips and improving the ease of doing business with Eaton’s aftermarket business,” said Tim Bauer, vice president of aftermarket for the Vehicle Group in North America.
