announced that it had secured a contract to supply diesel engines for the latest forward-control goods vehicles built by Mack Trucks Inc. of the U.S.A. The contract is for five years but may be extended for a further three years if sales of Scania-engined Macks make this desirable. Deliveries of Scania-Vabis engines to America have already started and a total of 350 is due to have been shipped by October 1.

The engine chosen, which will be known in America as the Mack-Scania, is the 8-litre six-cylinder D.8 used in the Scania series 56 and 66 goods vehicles. It has direct fuel injection and develops 145 b.h.p. (DIN).

It will be fitted to the medium-weight Mack forward-control delivery vehicles and sales of these with the Scania engine will be restricted to the U.S.A., Canada, Puerto Rico and Mexico.

Mr. Lars Luthman, sales manager of Scania-Vabis engine division, said this week that the company hoped that thousands of Mack trucks would be equipped with the engine each year.
