Leyland Daf, exhibiting for the first time as a single company at a major show, has three new models. Two examples of the new 95 series, the FT95.380 Space cab 4x2 tractive unit and the FT95.310 sleeper-cab tractive unit, are equipped with sophisticated electronic systems. Both powered by versions of Daf's turbocharged and charge-cooled 11.6-litre diesel engine, developed along the lines of the established ATi engines give outputs of 286kW and 228kW.
The new Constructor 30.26L, claimed to be the lightest 8x4 on the market, makes it long-rumoured appearance.
At the lighter end of the range of Roadrunner, which has just recently passed the 10,000 sales mark in the UK and has sold over 1,000 in Europe since the beginning of the year, becomes available with more power. The 7.5tonne 8.15 is equipped with the Leyland Cummins 300 5.88litre engine which has been turbocharged to give an extra 25% in power output (to 108kW) and torque.
