The new International Premium Dual Drive modification from Fontaine Modification Medium & Heavy Truck Operations makes it just as comfortable for a driver to operate a refuse collection vehicle, street sweeper or road-striping truck from the right side as the left, the company says. Fontaine’s Premium Dual Drive modification adds a right-hand drive station to International MV and HV trucks for applications that require an operator to be able to drive from either side. It provides significant improvements over Fontaine’s other dual-drive offering, including increased legroom, the company says.
Fontaine performs the modification at its facility in Springfield, Ohio, near the International plant where MV and HV trucks are manufactured. The International Premium Dual Drive modification can be performed on new vehicles as part of Fontaine’s ship-thru agreement with International.
