BRITISH SPARKS COMPETE
CAV are now to service competitors' equipment on diesel engines fitted to public service and commercial vehicles, and agricultural and industrial plant.
They will supply existing CAV parts or complete machines — fuel injection pumps, turbochargers, starters and generators — to replace competitors' equipment, or would supply a new range of interchangeable replacement parts built to its own standards.
Product manager C. S. Davies told a CAV meeting last week that since there were more and more imported vehicles in use in this country, and manufacturers were also sourcing components from different makers, CAV had realised that the customer would require service over a much broader range of equipment.
For fuel injection, over 30 types are offered, all with test approval. For electrics, there are 17 starters designed as bolt-on replacements for popular vehicles in the UK — Volvo, SaabScania, Leyland and Zetor among them — and alternator kits for the same vehicles. The range will expand to include replacements for DAF, Fiat, Hino and Mercedes-Benz.
