Fuel Management System
On CNG models, allows drivers to monitor gas levels the same as diesel. On CNG models. Factory-installed and tested. Provides Autocar-backed performance. Supported by Autocar Solutions reducing maintenance time.
Automotive-Style Hinges
Hidden, easily adjustable hinges avoid rust and wear and tear. Easier to open even after years of use. Require less maintenance, fewer replacements.
No external harness
Means no body control boxes in the cab, better visibility and safety. Better, simpler wiring means electronics-related mishaps are less likely to occur on route. Elimination of over 80lbs of wiring increases payload capacity. No spliced-in wires, and elimination of over 80lbs of wiring simplifies maintenance. No exposed cables to damage. Two engineered harness pass throughs make trouble shooting easier to perform, reduce likelihood of maintenance errors. Watertight anti-siphoning soldered connections prevent corrosion. Fewer body builder-caused wiring errors means fewer electronic repairs needed. Companies won't need to drill holes in cab for wiring, compromising truck strength and integrity.
Wraparound, Flush Bumpers
Increase safety, prevent cab damage and protect wiring under cab from debris. Reduce maintenance costs from cab damage. Avoid liability for third-party damage.
Self-Cleaning Steps
Less maintenance required to keep steps clean and safe. Easier In/Out. Wider door with handles in the right places. Wide, deep steps. One or two step options. Less stress on bones and muscles means more comfort through working day. Reduces fatigue - end the day energized and alert. Ergonomic Ingress/Egress - decreases driver fatigue, increases productivity. Lowers risk of work-related injury, resulting in lost drivers and worker's comp liability.
Adjustable steering wheel
More comfortable. Tilt and reach -adjustable to your preferences and can accommodate even the biggest drivers. Easier operation and more belly room.
In-Dash HVAC
Dashboard defrost vents keep windshield clear in cold weather. No auxiliary fans. Optional dual overhead HVAC for increased comfort in all weather. Increases safety and reduces risk of accidental damage.
Body Integration
Custom-engineered configurations eliminate control boxes from the cab interior - better visibility, and safer. More ergonomic, easier to operate truck and a more comfortable experience. Better, simpler wiring means electronics-related mishaps are less likely to occur on route. Elimination of over 80lbs of wiring increases payload capacity.
Pass-Through Harness Wiring
No external harnesses means no body control boxes in the cab, which results in better visibility and safety. Better, simpler wiring means electronics-related mishaps are less likely to occur on route. Elimination of over 80lbs of wiring increases payload capacity. No exposed cables to damage. Two engineered harness pass throughs make trouble shooting easier to perform, reduce likelihood of maintenance errors. Watertight anti-siphoning soldered connections prevent corrosion. Fewer body builder-caused wiring errors means fewer electronic repairs needed. Companies won't need to drill holes in cab for wiring, compromising truck strength and integrity.
Wraparound Windshield
Easy removal and two-piece construction simplifies maintenance. Provides better visibility, increasing safety and driver productivity, reducing risk of accidental damage. Easy removal and two-piece construction reduces maintenance time and replacement costs.
Removable panel construction
Means easier, quicker maintenance and lower costs.
Best Insulated Cab
Tested to keep drivers comfortable in extreme cold and heat - up to 120 degrees. Insulated blanket over engine area blocks engine heat from coming in cab. Lowest interior noise, eliminating need for earplugs, reducing fatigue. Driver comfort reduces turnover, increases efficiency.
New A-Pillar Inserts
Makes it easier and faster to maintain harnesses. Reduces downtime.
Removable dash panel
Makes servicing HVAC easier and faster, which reduces maintenance costs.
Righthand Drive Options
Standup RH drive, seated RH drive, dual drive or passenger seat - all custom-engineered for driver comfort and productivity. HVAC flow to foot well for comfort in extreme weather conditions.
Righthand Drive Options.
Several righthand drive configurations, including standup, all custom-engineered for driver comfort and productivity. All of them have the same wiring harnesses, gauges and parts. HVAC flow to foot well for comfort in extreme weather conditions. Provides consistent maintenance across Autocar fleet.
Strongest, Lightest Frame Rail
Reduced frame rail weight increases payload. Legal weight optimization can increase payload up to 1,000lbs. Strength ensures maximum reliability on route. Variable drop frame reduces overall weight while increasing strength in high-stress areas. Body-integrated holes are punched, not drilled, pre-installation. Reduces need for frame maintenance.
Constant Torque Clamps
Vibrationless constant torque clamps keep connections secure, prevent wear and tear. Avoid mishaps and wasted time on route. Makes electronics and engine maintenance easier. Reduces costs and damage liability. Avoids downtime as well.
Convenient Locations
Fluid check and fill locations grouped together for easier, faster curbside pre-trip checks. This reduces time spent on inspections. Allows operators to spend more time on route.
Clips and Hangers
Highest quality clips and hangers keep wiring from rubbing against the frame, which prevents electrical shorts. Avoid mishaps and wasted time on route. Makes electronics maintenance easier. Reduces maintenance costs and damage liability. Avoids downtime.
Rear Window Visibility
Clear visibility allows operators to watch the packer blade position, and make sure body is functioning properly, improving productivity.
