Detailed Product Description

The Gates Truck & Bus V-Belt TR28565 is part of the Truck & Bus V-Belt product line, which focuses on delivering reliable accessory drive belt solutions for commercial vehicles. This belt features a notched design that improves flexibility around pulleys, reducing heat buildup and extending belt life.
