Freightliner Trucks announces that factory-installed Meritor front drive axles, which allow for an All Wheel Drive (AWD) option, are now available on Business Class M2 106 and 106V truck models. The front drive axle option is a part-time system ideal for use in fire and rescue, utility, snow plow and municipal service applications. The system can be activated by the operator when AWD is needed during traction-poor conditions. The AWD option can be engaged at or below 10 mph or while the vehicle is coasting on a level grade.
