An engine placement configuration for a heavy-duty truck (10) includes a chassis having two spaced-apart frame rails (16) running in a longitudinal direction of the chassis, between front and rear ends, and a front wheel assembly (20) with an axle (22) attached to the frame rails. An opposed-piston engine (30) is supported on the frame rails and positioned between the front end (19) and the axle (22). The opposed-piston engine includes a cylinder assembly (40) with a longitudinal axis (A) disposed between the frame rails and oriented vertically with respect to the longitudinal direction. Alternatively, the opposed-piston engine includes a row of cylinders (41) disposed between the rails and running in the longitudinal direction. |
