FORD has never been satisfied with the sales figures of the H-Series Transcontinentals, but there is no lack of confidence in the product down Essex way.
"We'll match our tractive unit against any other," they said, "at 32 tons or even at 40 tonnes." CM took up the challenge, as did four other manufacturers — Foden, Bedford, Volvo and DAF — and we tested the Fords over our Scottish route, using the same semi-trailer for each, and at 40 tonnes gcw.
The Armitage report on Lorries, People and the Environment is due to be published in November so our series of tests is certainly topical.
A full test report on each vehicle will appear in the CM Motor Show review issue on October 25.
