A Ministry of Defence team is recommending that British Leyland's Scammell Motors plant at Watford should be registered to the exacting 05-21 standard set by the Ministry and also used by NATO.
This means that Scammell is likely to capture a bigger share of the lucrative military vehicles contracts now being prepared.
However, my friends at Leyland tell me that Scammell will not be abandoning its traditional roll as a manufacturer of super-heavy trucks, such as the 240-ton gross weight Constructor and Contractor used by specialist hauliers like Pickfords.
