The Club of Four project was a 1971 groundbreaking arrangement for the development of a cab between Daf, Magirus Deutz, Saviem and Volvo, which bore fruit from 1975 onwards.
Saviem's successor Renault went on to get particularly good value for money, with the cab being used in mainstream production until the late 1990s. Renault still uses this design in normal control guise for its Sherpa range of military trucks. Renault had form with the bonneted version of the 'Club', having also used it in its C Series range of construction trucks, and on the Mack CS. Outside the originating four, the cab has also featured on Terberg heavy-duty trucks, Magirusderived NASR trucks built in Egypt, Italian ManMeccanica all-wheel-drive lorries (pictured), and CAMIR construction trucks. The Turkish Pi Makina 18-240 4x4 tipper is also in production with the 'Club' cab.
