A Class 7 truck with a gasoline engine is a pretty big shift.

The fact that Ford designed a brand new gasoline engine for the medium and heavy duty market in 2020 is a pretty big deal.

It speaks to the challenges of hitting the next level of HD emission standards with a diesel vs a gasoline engine.

Expect some surprising changes in the market mid-decade.
