Battle Motors Unveils the Striker Non-CDL Class 6 Truck: Fueling Momentum in Medium-Duty Transportation

Battle Motors announces the launch of the Striker, a Non-CDL Class 6 truck. Engineered for superior comfort, safety, durability, and advanced technology, the Striker is poised to set a new benchmark in the medium-duty truck market. It also promises to elevate fleet operations, making urban and regional logistics more efficient while prioritizing driver well-being. 

The Striker combines industry-leading design with advanced technology to deliver optimal performance for inner-city routes and diverse vocational applications. Fleet managers and drivers will appreciate its durability, reliability, and ease of use, while its features enhance fleet efficiency and safety. Available in medium-duty configurations with a GVWR of 25,999 to 33,000 pounds, the Class 6 Striker is powered by a Cummins 6.7L diesel engine, paired with two Allison transmissions. The Striker can also be configured as a Class 7 or 8 truck with a Cummins 9L diesel or CNG engine and is offered in several battery-electric configurations. Built tough for multi-vocational use, the Striker ensures long-term reliability and reduced maintenance costs.  

"The Striker represents innovation and performance in the medium-duty truck market. We’ve designed it to meet the demanding needs of fleet managers and drivers by integrating technology with rugged durability. Whether it’s diesel, CNG, or electric, the Striker is built to deliver exceptional performance, reduce operating costs, and contribute to a more sustainable future." – Mike Patterson, CEO of Battle Motors  

Built with the challenges of refuse management in mind, the Striker's narrow 82-inch cab provides exceptional maneuverability and visibility, allowing drivers to navigate crowded urban streets and tight spaces with ease. This makes it an ideal solution for refuse and recycling collection, where precision and safety are paramount. While our narrow cab offers unmatched agility, the Striker cab also sets the standard for best-in-class spaciousness. Engineered with a focus on comfort, productivity, and safety, it provides drivers with the room they need to perform at their best, mile after mile. 

Additionally, the Striker’s ergonomic design and advanced safety features help reduce work-related injuries, such as slips, falls, and repetitive strain. These enhancements not only improve driver comfort but also reduce overall fleet costs through fewer injury claims and less downtime.

  • Increased Driver Visibility: Equipped with a low-entry cab and large in-door windows, the Striker enhances curbside and pedestrian visibility, reducing blind spots and making the truck safer for both drivers and the communities they serve.

  • Reduced Maintenance Costs: The Striker is designed for long-term reliability, with features such as a 2-piece windshield for easy replacement and robust components like piano-style hinges, ensuring the truck remains in service longer with fewer repairs. 
  • Environmentally Friendly Power Options: In addition to diesel and CNG engine configurations, the Striker is available in fully electric models, offering zero-emission options for environmentally conscious fleet operators. 
  • Durable and Driver-Friendly Design: The Striker’s all-steel cab, air-ride rear suspension, and back-of-cab radiator combine to provide a cooler, more comfortable environment for drivers, even in demanding working conditions.
