AS FORECAST by CM last October, Saviem has announced its intention of introducing a heavier tractive unit into the UK this year.
It will be for 36-ton-gross operation and will become available at the end of September. Importers will be the Saviem concessionaires Nickerson Commercial Vehicles Ltd, of Scunthorpe.
Nickerson is at present carrying out a three-month evaluation on the new vehicle in Britain. It has the 280 TU turbocharged engine developing around 183 kW (245 bhp) which Saviem claims to be the most popular engine in its heavy range.
The new vehicle will cost £12,050, or £12,400 for a Sleeper-cab version. It is expected to share many common parts with the existing 324on tractive unit.
