Freightliner Trucks announced that a between-the-rails fuel tank is available as an option for its Freightliner M2 106 vehicles.
Ideal for ambulance configurations, the new option places a 40-gal. steel fuel tank between the rails at the end of the frame. According to Freightliner, this allows emergency trucks to have more packaging options such as increased diesel exhaust fluid capacity and additional batteries while still maintaining a clear back of cab.
The company also noted that the between-the-rails position enhances vehicle stability with weight distribution in the rear, resulting in a smoother ride and improved overall vehicle driving dynamics.
The M2 106 can be spec’d with additional fire and emergency options, including SCBA provisions, NFPA vehicle data recorders and seatbelt displays, and a variety of chrome and bright finish exterior options.
