БЕНД, OR (ноябрь 1, 2019) –Earth Cruiser Overland Vehicles just released their entirely new, more capable, reliable and purpose built and EXP FX trucks expedition. The most notable change is that they are powered by a Vortec 6.0 L gasoline engine mated to an Allison transmission 1000 with a 4-wheel drive system designed and built by Earth Cruiser. This platform has given them the flexibility to adjust привод parameters to make it the most capable off-road motorhome on the market. Earth Cruiser also plans to release a dual cab вариант, providing a family friendly альтернативой.

“We have made some significant changes to the Fuso FE gasoline platform, and put it through rigorous testing to ensure we have the most capable, safest product available. We made the decision to spec our own трансмиссии to give us full control over final drive ratios, transfer case reduction gears, wheel and tire compatibility, блокировка дифференциала, and braking systems. This is a different approach than what we took with the previous Fuso FG platform. We started with OUR end in mind, resulting in an end product that is built from the ground up to travel the world. All of this has been done without compromising соответствия эмиссии, insurance or registration requirements” mentions Earth Cruiser Founder, Лэнс Гиллис. In short, they are building a purpose-built truck expedition that is legal, Сейф, easier to drive, easy to maintain, and most of all fun.

The Vortec 6.0 L v8 gasoline engine puts out an impressive 297 horsepower and 361 foot pounds of torque. This power boost it gives better on-road and off-road performance compared to its дизель predecessor. Power wasn’t the only driver behind the change to a gasoline powered привод. Earth Cruiser also noticed many countries have begun increasing emission regulations on diesel engines in favor of gasoline and high efficiency electric power plants. In addition, Fuso engine manufacturers have made it clear that because of these неотъемлемым changes, they will not invest in new diesel engine technology past 2020. Таким образом, as these regulations and policy changes continue, Earth Cruiser is choosing to change as well. This allows them to do what is best for their owners to continue to create reliable vehicles free from limitations, regardless of their global destination.

Earth Cruiser worked closely with Allison Transmission to develop a program that would optimize power and fuel efficiency. This transmission program is an Earth Cruiser exclusive and designed to integrate seamlessly into their custom зацепления. Партнерство with Trail Worthy Fab the two HERO speed transfer case has 1-1 high and 1-4.33 низкая передача. Most impressive are the drive options you can quickly select using 2 levers in the cab: 2WD High задняя, 2WD front High, 2WD rear Low, 2WD front Low, 4WD High, 4WD Low.

For axles Earth Cruiser сотрудничает with Dyna Trac to develop ProSeries 80’s Full floating axles with universal axle lengths to front and rear left to right, Warn locking hubs, and ARB Air Locker дифференциала. 14” вентилируемые disk brakes with ABS help stop the Method NV 305 Heavy Duty 8-6.5 17 X 8.5 wheels wrapped with Toyo Open Country M/T 37″ E rated tires. These components were all chosen and designed to EarthCruiser’s spec making it the brawniest mid-duty 4×4 truck available.

The increase in capacity capability and make it perfect for commercial applications that require a robust design for off-road travel. Earth Cruiser has been working with vehicle up fitters in the fire suppression, electrical utility, and search and rescue industries, and using the platform to meet their specialized needs.

While the chassis received the most notable changes, Earth Cruiser has also made numerous инновационные leaps forward inside the living quarters. Storage что vastly increased inside and out, to make it easier to carry your gear and recreational supplies for longer trips. One large пошел makes the door under bed storage easily accessible, and a 30” pull out drawer by the kitchen is perfect for storing non-refrigerated food. There is an optional slide-out kitchen on the passenger side of the truck, perfect for жечь when the weather is nice.

Earth Cruiser designed a new roof, taking 150 pounds out of it to lower the trucks center of gravity. Integrated into the roof is a fan system that efficiently moves over 200 cfm of air fresh keeping the house and practically eliminating any condensation from occurring.

The entry way bathroom что redesigned to be more ergonomic, and provides increased privacy by utilizing a sliding wall to create an enclosed space. Another game changing innovation, which is currently in the testing phase, is EarthCruiser’s proprietary grey water recycling system. Developed with Oregon State University, this closed circuit water recycling system 3 uses different types of carbon filters, a УФ-фильтром, and dedicated electric hot water tank. This system significantly reduces the power required to take a hot shower, cycling by already the heated water filtration through the system, and back out the shower head. It allows for long, испаряющийся showers, without worrying about depleting your fresh water supply.

Boasts The truck 84 gallons of fresh water storage, up to 720 Amp hours of lithium power storage, and up to 800 watts of solar поколения. While Earth Cruiser did expand the power capacity, you won’t see huge battery storage and solar поколения numbers, as with some other manufacturers. This is for the simple reason that, you don’t need it. “Our electrical systems were designed to sip power, and have numerous backup systems if and when necessary. We select only proven our systems for trucks, then test them to all the extremes to see how they perform. Only once we are happy with the result these products are chosen;” говорит Джиллис.

With the option of a dual cab, the sleeping configuration что updated to sleep more passengers. While the rear full bed stayed the same (55”W x 78”L), Earth Cruiser made the front dinette кровать larger to sleep 2 adults comfortably. Плюс, дополнительно к sky bed rolls out to sleep 2 small kids one or under adult 150lbs. The first dual cab is planned to be built in early 2020, specs and more on this will follow.

For 11 years Earth Cruiser has seen over 177 vehicles fulfill dreams of exploration from the Steps of Mongolia, to the Steens Mountain в штате Орегон. This was done without any major modification to the original Earth Cruiser platform. Now the world is changing, and the company finds it necessary to create something new.

“We could not have been happier with the performance and longevity of the 4-cylinder turbo diesel engine. Over the past 11 years, it has, and continues to propel Earth Cruiser vehicles to some of the most remote destinations on the planet. While we are very happy with current configuration, we feel that that the stringent engine emission controls planned for diesel engines в 2020 will degrade the platform in a number of important ways. And while we support these environmental актов, this will result in a powertrain that is несопоставимы with a world class экспедиции platform” says founder Лэнс Гиллис.
