The stars of Discovery’s Diesel Brothers will be at the Commodity Classic expo hall Feb. 27 at the convention center in Anaheim, California, to show off their latest creation—a custom-built Ford F550 6x6 fueled by biodiesel.
The truck was built in partnership between the DieselSellerz and the Minnesota Soybean Research & Promotion Council, which have teamed up to promote biodiesel leading up to Minnesota’s biodiesel mandate doubling May 1 from 10 to 20 percent.
The DieselSellerz will be at the National Biodiesel Board booth, No. 1401, from 1 to 3 p.m. Feb. 27 and the truck will be in the booth throughout the trade show.
The episode of Diesel Brothers featuring the biodiesel truck is tentatively scheduled to air later this spring on Discovery.
