There were few ones factory-designed to run on ethanol during the 80s, mostly for farm machinery and trucks, and nowadays Mercedes-Benz and Scania offer them, mostly for buses. But it's not so unusual to find trucks from other brands also using ethanol without any adaptation while using a mechanical injection (only some lube added to protect the injection pump and tips) or just an ECM reflashing when fitted with EFI, mostly in the areas surrounded by sugarcane plantations and mills.
