The way the new SP cab, fitted to all ERF`B' Series vehicles, stands up to impressions, is very impressive indeed.
'rested at the Motor Industry Research Association the cab passed all the requirements for frontal impact specified by the Economic Commission for Europe. Apart from minor surface damage to the front panels, shattered windscreen and loosened rear windows ... there was no other evidence of having taken 1.5 tons right on the nose. In fact both doors could still open and close, which would have been a great advantage if the test had been a real accident, At ERF we believe safety is more than just skin deep. The SP cab has an immensely strong internal steel safety cage, covered by hotpress moulded glass fibre external panels.
The frame itself is specially treated to resist corrosion. Of course it's even better for a driver to avoid accidents than have to survive them, so our new cab has improved features to help him do his job more efficiently and more safely There is better visibility easier to work controls, easier to read instruments and greater all around comfort to keep him more alert.
The new ERF is the perfect partner for the driver ...a truck's most important working part.
