What is the Freightliner M2 112 Plus?
The M2 112 Plus is another Freightliner M2 configuration, listed in its on-highway range. Freightliner’s catalogue shows a broader upper power range than the M2 106 Plus. That can make it relevant to heavier work, but the actual engine and chassis order determine the comparison.
What matters in a comparison
Put the M2 112 Plus and M2 106 Plus side by side with the same body and route requirements. Identify what drives the need for the larger specification: installed equipment, gross weight or operating duty. Extra capability brings value only if the work uses it. Obtain a loaded weight calculation and ask the body builder about clearances and integration before committing to a chassis.
Questions to take to the supplier
- What requirement leads to this M2 configuration?
- Which engine rating is in the quotation?
- Has the body builder reviewed the exact wheelbase and frame?
