Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Underneath the eye-catching livery of Britvic's latest Tango delivery trucks is an equally interesting chassis.

The 12 new vehicles are based on the Mercedes-Benz Atego 2528L1 model, which uses full air suspension and low-profile 315/60 R22.5 tyres to give a reduced body floor height for urban deliveries.

The Tango trucks have the added refinement of a steering conversion on the non-lifting third tag axle, carried by M-B at its Moisheim operation, The Ategos have been down-plated to 21,000kg GVIV to gain the lower VED rate. Britvic will be using them to replace existing step-frame vehicles and says they offered the lowest platform height possible with conventional bodywork.
