0 medium-duty vehicles are designed to be used in conditions that are more difficult than normal but not extremely difficult:
medium-duty trucks
In 1985 medium-duty truck production was consolidated with heavy-duty truck production, and the plant was renovated and re-tooled to produce full-size pickups.
Most had a medium-duty 4x2 chassis, but some 6x4 heavy-duty models were built.
Light- and medium-duty models were offered first, then a heavy-duty range was added during the 1930s and 1940s.
Although they still shared a common cab and interior with the pickup truck line, the medium-duty line now wore separate bodywork ahead of the firewall.
Thermoplastic elastomer cords have medium-duty-grade thermoplastic elastomer jackets and perform well in cold conditions.
In 1995, the medium-duty trucks received their first exterior update since 1980; this integrated the indicators and grille.
The funds cover retrofit engine technology for buses, medium-duty trucks, heavy-duty trucks, marine engines, locomotives, off-road engines or construction vehicles, cargo handlers, agricultural equipment, mining equipment, and energy production equipment.
Modern cab-over designs, in both semi-trucks and light- and medium-duty models, have improved aerodynamics significantly over early models, but often still have higher drag coefficients than their modern conventional-design counterparts.
