. front-loading delivery van n. operation at 16 tonnes gvw as been developed by the innish firm of Sisu in confliction with a Finnish odybuilder and the country's entral Co-operative Society. Based on a model from the itest range of chassis from isu, called the Multi-Sisu (a ame derived from the fact iat the chassis is divided into ve modules of interchangeble Sisu standard comments), the main features -e that it has a single seat lm ide cab for the driver and ..rmits loading and offloading Tim front and rear of the A 1.5m wide loading apron es to the nearside of the river's cab covered by an airDerated raising door which Is to form a canopy above ad ahead of the loading )ron.
There is access to the apron om the driver's cab by way of folding door, a sliding door amediately behind the cabin turn giving access to the am n load compartment.
The body itself is of glass bre reinforced plywood with inside body length of 9.3m ithin an overall length of 11.1 . The skirts of the body have >ace for a refrigerator unit, iater, spare tyre, battery and ■ ols. The front lights are recessed to minimise damage, a necessity especially when the vehicle is being loaded at the front against a loading bank.
A feature of the front end of the vehicle is that it is equipped with an hydraulic loading platform which can be used to raise and lower wheeled pallets in the course of collection and delivery and double as a loading bank leveller and loading platform. This folds back against the front of the vehicle for on-road operation, the ramp of the lift forming an "armoured shield" for the driver below the windscreen in the event of an accident.
Power for the vehicle is from a Valmet 611 CHS engine which has a DIN output of 173 bhp (127 kW). This power unit is matched with an Allison MT 650 automatic transmission. Both axles are Sisu's own design, the front one being its 6 ton BEL model and the rear its 10 ton ATK. Wheelbase is 5.5 m. Suspension is by conventional multi-leaf springs and brakes are dual-circuit, airoperated units.
