Glider kit market hits fatal nosedive with latest emissions regs
There’s seemingly no option on the market for owner-operators or small fleets to purchase a new glider kit. That includes buying straight from truck manufacturers for truckers who want to build and assemble their own glider truck.
January 13, 2021
The glider market grew from a few hundred sales a year in 2010 to upwards of 10,000 as recently as 2017. Gliders sported pre-emissions-regs engines -- no exhaust gas recirculation or selective catalytic reduction components and, thus, no need for DEF. With simpler technology and refurbished engines, the products were much cheaper than new trucks with new engines, making them attractive buys for small-business truckers.
