American Power Group launches new DF system

American Power Group said it will display its “Fueled By Flare™ dual fuel system on a 2015 Freightliner 122SD Severe-Duty Glider Kit at this week’s Mid-America Trucking Show.

This dual fuel severe-duty glider kit was designed and assembled by Harrison Truck Centers (HTC) as a vocational vehicle for oil and gas, mining, logging, and over-sized load trucking applications, APG said in a statement.

APG has been recently selected by Harrison Truck Centers to provide APG’s Turbocharged Natural Gas® Dual Fuel System for HTC’s new dual fuel heavy-duty and severe-duty glider kit product line launch.

A Freightliner Glider Kit is designed, engineered and assembled alongside new Freightliner trucks giving the prospective fleet owner everything a new truck offers except for two of the three main driveline components (engine, transmission, or rear axle), the statement said.

The fleet owner can either recapitalize any of the driveline components from their existing unit or specify a factory installed remanufactured engine or reman rear axle. Freightliner Glider Kits are available in day cab or sleeper units with a wide range of options at a much lower cost compared to a new diesel truck. APG has EPA engine family approvals for all six engine platforms that HTC uses in their glider kits, it added.
