Fontaine Modification offers dual drive medium-duty Freightliners
Fontaine Modification is now offering sit-down dual drive conversions for medium-duty Freightliner trucks.
The configuration lets drivers operate the truck from either side of the cab, and is available on the 2025 Freightliner M2 106 Plus and M2 108SD Plus models.
“Customers have relied on our sit-down dual drive modifications to make their vocational vehicles more versatile and efficient for decades,” says Harrison Letchworth, Fontaine Modification vocational sales manager. “When Freightliner refreshed its M2 Series cab interior and electrical architecture, we reengineered and upgraded our existing dual-drive steering modification to make the right-hand driving position even more ergonomic to improve driver comfort and efficiency.”
The new configuration is ideal for refuse collection, street-sweeping, herbicide spraying and pavement marking.
Fontaine created new dash panels, right-hand digital-dash cluster, and wiring harnesses for the Freightliner trucks. The conversion, which is performed at Fontaine’s modification center in Charlotte, N.C., includes relocating multiple electrical modules behind the dash and revising the steering column.
Fontaine says it plans to add a Premium Sit-Down Dual Drive conversion for 2025 Freightliner M2 112 and M2 114SD trucks later this year.
