Autocar Trucks is the first North American OEM to introduce Cummins' new X12 engine to the refuse market. Autocar claims the engine will enable customers to haul more than 700 pounds additional payload while delivering almost $11,000 in fuel savings over the life of a truck.
In more than a thousand trucks in the 2013-2016 model years, the brake pedals are at risk for detaching.
The manufacturer is issuing two separate recalls covering a total of 5,286 trucks.
The Onspot Automatic Tire Chain kit helps operators of Autocar's Xspotter yard tractor quickly engage or disengage chains when dealing with snow- or ice-covered yards. With Onspot, the operator flips a switch to start the process while the vehicle is moving forward or in reverse.
Autocar Industries introduced a natural gas version of its Class 7 cabover Xpert refuse truck at a alternative-fuel symposium in late November. The "baby 8" Xpert ACMD is now available with the Cummins Westport CNG/LNG engine.
