Iowa Truck Center Orders 35 Glider Dual Fuel Systems

American Power Group (APG) has received follow-up purchase orders from Harrison Truck Centers (HTC) for 35 of APG’s turbocharged natural gas dual fuel systems for HTC’s new line of dual fuel heavy-duty and severe-duty glider kits. In collaboration with WheelTime Network’s Interstate Power Systems, HTC will install APG’s Dual Fuel systems and associated natural gas storage tanks at HTC’s glider kit production facility in Elk Run Heights, Iowa. Deliveries are scheduled for September and October. Harrison Truck Centers is an Iowa-based, full service Freightliner/Western Star dealership and a leader in the production of Freightliner Glider Kits.

The Freightliner Glider Kits are designed, engineered and assembled alongside new Freightliner trucks. The fleet owner can either recapitalize any of the driveline components from their existing unit or specify a factory installed remanufactured engine or remanufactured rear axle.

“Since our APG dual fuel product launch last spring, we have seen significant interest in the benefits of our APG dual fuel glider,” said Brian Harrison, Harrison Truck Center’s President and CEO.
