Found this tidbit today; LOUISVILLE, Ky. The cost of developing and adding 2007 emissions-compliant engines and filtration systems will add $4,500 to $6,000 to Freightliner LLC's medium-duty trucks, the company's chief executive said last week.
The cost will apply to the Mercedes-Benz MBE900 as well as to the Cummins' mid-range engines the company offers in its medium-duty trucks, said Chris Patterson, Freightliner president and chief executive officer. Patterson spoke during a press conference at the Mid-America Trucking Show here. The cost increase for the company's heavy-duty engines will range from $7,000 to $10,000, depending on the engine and truck, Patterson said. -- Fraternal Regards, Peter T.
