Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation said Wednesday the company started full production of its propane-autogas S2G medium-duty work truck this week.
The S2G pairs FCCC’s S2 chassis with the only factory-installed propane autogas engine and fuel system available for the medium-duty truck market.
The S2G is powered by an 8-liter V8 “big block” engine – featuring a CleanFUEL USA liquid propane system – offering up to 339 hp and 495 ft-lb of torque. Initial orders for the truck will focus on the propane-delivery market; FCCC has plans to expand into other applications and industries beginning in 2015. For more information, visit S2Gtruck.com.
