Engines: 4.5-lit, 140hp/550N m, 160hp/ 600Nm, 180hp/700Nm; 6.7-lit, 220hp/ 850Nm, 250hp/950Nm, 280hp/1,020Nm Operators are no fools when 'it comes to buying decisions and the fact that Oaf's LF45 is the market leader is no coincidence. It manages to satisfy the two most important groups of people in one fell swoop namely the driver and the accountant. Its attractive and practical cab makes it a comfortable place to be, while it drives with a smoothness and agility that belies its size.
But if its solid engineering is to be admired, its lightweight chassis (body/ payload allowance is 4,245kg on a 7.5tonner), impressive fuel economy and broad size range (7.5, 10, 11 and 12-tonne configurations are complemented by two engines — a 3.9-litre four-cylinder and a sixcylinder 5.9-litre) make practical sense when it comes to ownership.
If that wasn't enough, a recent update, complete with Euro-4 technology, has given it an extra edge to help maintain its justified sales success.
