Saviem's Cabine Espace first saw the light of day in II 1968 and set new standards in driver comfort with its spacious and airy interior. The following year an agreement was reached with MAN whereby the German manufacturer adopted the cab, and the design subsequently appeared on MAN ubsidiary trucks Bussing, OAF and raf & Stift. During the mid-70s the cab featured on the RAM range of 4x4 and 6x6 trucks produced in Rotterdam. The MAN connection also saw a move eastwards, with he Hungarian Raba concern using the cab throughout the 1970s, and the Romanian firm Autocamioane Brasov basing its comprehensive Roman range f trucks on the design. AB Roman still produces models derived from the Espace. The eastern march of the Espace extended to Jinan in China, where the Huang He company used it on its nappily named JN1171022 (pictured) in the 1990s.
