Fontaine Modification has expanded its steering conversion offerings for Freightliner trucks with a new standard sit-down dual drive modification for Freightliner M2 106 Plus medium-duty conventional trucks.

The standard modification adds a right-hand driving position, enabling the driver to operate vocational vehicles from either the right or left side in applications such as refuse collection, street sweeping, paint striping, and pavement maintenance. 

The standard model offers additional flexibility for in-cab equipment controls and improved ergonomics compared to the Legacy M2 standard sit-down dual drive.

T-Shift or Push Button Gear Selector

Fontaine said it engineered a simpler, more efficient modification process for the newest sit-down dual drive to improve production times and speed to market. Customization options include the choice between a T-shift or push-button gear selector.

“Our new standard sit-down dual drive conversion for Freightliner’s M2 106 Plus offers a more streamlined, cost-effective solution,” said Jamil Young, president, Fontaine Modification. “With a simplified design, improved cab space, and faster production, customers can count on reliable performance without sacrificing core functionality.”

Freightliner M2 steering conversions are performed at Fontaine’s flagship modification center in Charlotte, N.C. Fontaine uses OEM components whenever possible so the truck can be serviced at the customer’s local Freightliner dealer.
