• The first 350KW (470hp) Scania 143 tractors are set to go into service with British operators as soon as Type Approval papers arrive from the Department of Transport.
Graham Cordiner, based near Peterhead in Scotland, is expected to take delivery of the first vehicle: he has opted for a 6x2 fitted with a lifting axle. The cab is being specially extended by Bolton-based Uni ty Commercials, and Cordiner is considering adding a shower to the vehicle's specification.
Leighton Buzzard-based Peter Roff looks set to be the first haulier south of the border to operate the 143, running a 4x2 to Italy and Germany.
Scania plans to relocate its engine reconditioning plant in a bid to increase production capacity at its SOdertalje factory.
