• BP has taken delivery of live ERE E14-32TT-drawn NEI Thompson Tanker 32,000litre artic combinations in a deal valued at nearly £500,000.
The day-cabbed twin-steers have BP's standard driveline of Cummins Super E320 engine, Fuller RTX11609A gearbox and Rockwell S-160E rear axle. The five-compartment bottomloadable aluminium tankers are all built to Thompson's latest 'Hi-Stability' design on ex truded aluminium frames.
Using Hendrickson Norde's RG14750 rubber suspension and 265/70R 19.5in tyre equipment on the twin RO-R TMT22510 BX axles helps to achieve a reduced, 1.8m (laden) centre of gravity within a 3.05m (unladen) overall height.
The ERFs weigh 7,560kg and the tankers 5,460kg, enabling liquid loads of up to 32,000 litres to be carried.
