Alkane Truck Company, a new OEM of Class 7-8 Trucks in Myrtle Beach, S.C., has released its propane autogas-powered cabover Class 7 truck to the U.S. market.
This truck will be available in two models — the P-26 rated at 26,000-pounds GVW and the P-33 rated at 33,000-pounds GVW.
These trucks are powered by the Ford Triton 6.8L V-10, 3-valve engine and equipped with the bi-phase liquid direct injection propane fuel system.
