range is a major leap forward fcr the company, with the raked screen and pointed bonnet giving a modern look that bears comparison with the current generation of vehicles on the market.
The pictures also show that a full range of vans and chassis-cabs will be available with a variety of roof heights and wheelbases. The new range wit range from 2.2 to 3.5 tonnes, with the possibility of heavier GVW versions as the market dictates.
Industry analysts have been concerned that a vehicle developed for a year 2000 launch and subsequently delayed for four years will be out of date from its debut. However LDV is believed to have made some modifications to ensure the product remains current.
While the new van looks impressive from the outside it is on the inside that the designers have been particularly radical, with a central console housing all the dials. read-outs and controls.
As well as improving visibility from behind the wheel, this will make it easier to switch assembly from right to left-hand drive. Also evident is a dash-mounted gearstick, in keeping with the current vogue, although we trust LDV will have addressed the overuse of blue plastic for the interior trim before launch.
LDV uses the Ford Duratorq diesel engine in the Convoy and a Peugeot diesel in the Pilot. It hasn't named the engine supplier for the new
/range—there are strong industry rumours that Iveco might also be in the running.
