Freightliner Trucks Enhances Versatile Business Class M2 106V
The improved M2 106V is ready for 2010 emissions technology for severe duty vocational applications
Freightliner Trucks showcased the new improvements made to the Business Class® M2 106V at the Work Truck Show. The Business Class M2 106V boasts updated features that enhance performance and efficiency while also accommodating the new 2010 emissions requirements.
The versatile Business Class M2 106V is ideal for medium and heavy-duty vocational applications requiring a front engine PTO and front frame extensions, such as refuse collection, snow plowing, crane and utility operations and fire/emergency needs.
The enhancements made to the Business Class M2 106V has created one of our most versatile vocational trucks on the markets.
Designed for Power, Performance
With standard features such as multiplex wiring and front frame rail extensions, the Business Class M2 106V is already engineered for maximum customization and performance. New features including a larger radiator, new hood and improved headlight system further enhance the truck’s versatility and performance.
Specific highlights include:
• Larger radiator capacity. The Business Class M2 106V’s new 1,200 square-inch radiator can accommodate up to 380hp with automatic transmission and up to 80,000 pounds GVW. The radiator is mounted to the engine and sits above the top of the frame, allowing for optimal cooling and reliability. This also allows the front engine PTO shaft to run below the radiator.
• Improved headlight system. The composite headlights feature complex reflectors with halogen bulbs. The bulbs are easy to replace and available at auto and truck supply stores. An upgrade over previous sealed beam headlights, this system provides superior lighting performance.
• Blend-Air Engine Air Intake system. The truck’s new Blend-Air intake system pulls air from under and outside the hood, which helps the stream of air when snow and debris may otherwise constrict airflow.
• Front frame rail extensions. Front frame rail extensions are integral rather than bolted on, allowing for a constant resistance bending moment (RBM) from the front of the frame extension to the end of the rail. The straight front frame rail extensions are standard, and available in 6-inch and 24-inch lengths, providing a solid mounting point for hydraulic pumps, winches, front stabilizers and snowplows.
Run Smart, Look Smart
Stylish updates make the updated product one that can out-perform the competition, and looks good doing so. The truck features a lightweight and durable aluminum cab that is strong and non-corrosive. Plus a new fiberglass hood with re-styled front fenders complete the truck’s appealing, contemporary look.
The Business Class M2 106V blends style and function to the benefit of the driver. Special attention was paid to the cab design to decrease driver fatigue and increase productivity.
Low step-in heights with slip resistant dual steps, large door openings with strategically placed exterior and interior grab handles, and flexible seating options come standard with the Business Class M2 106V. A 2,500 sq inch windshield provides excellent visibility for spotting potential hazards.
