Daimler in the United States will replace its new natural gas-fueled Class 8 truck from Sterling with a compressed natural gas-fueled truck based on the Freightliner M2 112 chassis. “The Sterling brand is going to go away but Freightliner is going to fast track the natural gas product on the M2 112 chassis,†Sterling’s western regional GM Bob Carrick told Fleets & Fuels last week. “I’m pushing very very hard so we don’t lose the momentum we have with natural gas,†he says. Daimler product marketing GM Mike Jackson said at this month’s Southern California Clean Vehicle Technology Expo that the new Freightliner will initially be fueled with CNG. The LNG Sterling will be available through the first quarter of 2009 and will be fully supported for at least a decade. More information Fleets and Fuels.
