THREE A.E.C. Monarch Mk. VI I trucks bound for Northern Province Roadways, Ltd., Arusha, Tanganyika, have been shipped from London. The new Monarchs with Duramin cabs will join a fleet of A.E.C. vehicles hauling produce from the coastal port of Dar-esSalaam to Mombasa, Moshi and Arusha, a distance of 250 miles. The company also puts these vehicles to work on a 17$mile twice-weekly run from Dar-esSalaam to Nairobi. The fleet logs more than 4,000 miles a week under the most arduous conditions which vary from dry and dusty to rainfalls of monsoon intensity. An indication of the tough conditions is that tyres have a life of only 18,000 miles.
