Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

I saw fraightliner 6x2 with ECAS and lift axle control.

ECAS ECM Wabco, 12V, easily can be checked/programmed with Wabco toolbox

 

You just can not stop insulting almost half the world can you! Are you that big a Richard?

 

All depends on what you consider a tiny amount of diesel.

When injecting into the intake air, depending on the engine, you can run about 30% LPG/propane with 70% of diesel as a maximum. Some engine will take a bit more, many engines even less than that.
If you increase the amount of LPG, while reducing the diesel, the LPG will self-ignite and turn the engine into a pile of scrap metal.
You can add propane without reducing the diesel, and you will gain power/torque. Plenty of systems out there. Again if you overdo it on the propane you WILL destroy the engine, because of the self-ignition of the LPG/propane.

With Natural Gas (CNG/LNG) you can go to a much higher gas/diesel ratio.
But even the few Diesel-Methane engines that Volvo sold in Europe only averaged about 60-70% gas vs 30-40% diesel. In my opinion still a long way from a "tiny" amount.

The only truck engine that I know of that could reach a tiny amount of diesel (<5%) was the Westport-Cummins HPDI, but this was natural gas, NOT LPG.
The gas was injected directly into the cilinder NOT into the air intake.
And it still needed EGR/DPF/DEF, to meet EPA10 emissions.

 

And there's even a third way. There is a kind of diesel fuel made from natural gas, it should also burn much cleaner. Some stations here sell it. By the way, I just had the oil changed in my car, and the oil is also fully synthetic and made from natural gas.

 

Here you go. It's a low class American truck with dirty emissions from the 1940's.

 

I know them, I saw quite a few of them not even a year ago. They are surprisingly small when you compare them with today's trucks.

 

At 1 point there is a small window showing some specs off the truck.
It is a 6x4 so ,yes,it has the new liftable drive axle.

 

Could you copy/post those specs....? They do not show up on my phone..

 

Lend - Lease Studebaker ! I have seen them in former SU countries. some of them are drivable today ! legendary truck !
