These are Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fueled, the R-unit is the only one of it's kind after over 2 years in engineering work fitting the CNG fuel system to a single axle truck. The T660 is a manual transmission model and has a camera on the back to help with hooking.

I'll just post the pictures and leave the dumb comments to generate themselves, I just like seeing new things and taking the pictures.

As adept as we are at having wrecks that make the five o'clock local news, RC can't hardly wait to see the smoking crater one of these leaves on the six o'clock national news. At least the manual shut off valve will be easy to reach when it's laying on its side.
 
I was thinking the manual shut off valve at the top was a bad place to put it, but it all makes sense now.

I can't wait for one of those super truckers to back into a high trailer, miss the pin and slam the trailer into the fuel tanks.

My 1st thought was, why do you need a camera to hook up as its no different than hooking up with a sleeper cab---then I remembered most drivers here have never drove a sleeper
 
Bet you Fred got these so he could get some big government tax break or some type of grant. We can also tell the world how we are bunch of greenies. Just more shat to go wrong and cost us large sums of money to fix.
 
Cripes almighty! That first one!

As if KWs weren't hard enough to see out of anyhow!
I bet blindside backing that thing is just pure joy.

Always the optimist!! That's why we like you.
 
Exel runs shuttles for one of my customers and they have a couple of freightliner tractors like these. The guy that drives it said he has to fill it 2 or 3 times every 12 hour shift.
 
I like the baby KW, the big boy KW looks weird, there is a Pam International that runs containers in OKC that has that tank on the back, looks crazy, I like the tank on the little KW, why can't the road trucks have that? It is compressed natural gas right? Well then compress it dang it, no need for a big box on the back of the cab.
