Truck & Bus V-Belt for Heavy-Duty Drive Systems

The Gates TR28483 is a Truck & Bus V-Belt built for heavy-duty accessory drive applications where consistent belt grip and shock-load resistance matter. It is a notched EPDM belt with polyester cord construction, sized for generator drive use on 1946-1948 Cadillac Commercial Chassis applications.

Gates Truck & Bus V-Belts are part of the Green Stripe line, a product family focused on truck, bus, and off-road equipment service. The TR28483 uses a VA cross section, 36-degree angle, and a single-strand design to match the demands of older heavy-duty accessory drive systems.
