ORDERS worth nearly Om have been announced by ERF to supply vehicles to South Africa and Saudi Arabia.
Part of the South African order, worth in total £2,5m, is for twenty two-axle tractive units built to British type specification and designed for 28 ton plus operation.
A further 30 vehicles, comprising three-axle artic units and eight-wheeled rigid chassis, are to be built to South African specifications for operation at higher gross weights than allowed in the UK.
Completing the South African vehicle purchases will be 100 bus chassis valued at £1.5m.
For Saudi Arabia, ERF is to supply ten high-specification tractive units through its distributor there, Star Commercial Motors.
Worth a total of £360,000, the vehicles are three-axle units powered by Cummins 350 engines and fitted with sleeper cabs and air conditioning.
ERF exports 15 per cent of its production, mainly to South Africa and the Middle East.
