SHROPSHIRE commercial vehicle kit builder Ingmex Ltd will have a new lightweight extruded aluminium van body for exhibit at this year's Motor Show.
Called the Talon, this general-purpose large-capacity body can be fitted to any make of chassis cab up to 7.5 tonnes gvw, while the Ford Transit 190 long wheelbase petrol chassis cab, for example, can be fitted with a Luton model and still qualify for the under 30cwt taxation class.
The extruded body cladding is claimed to be more rigid than conventional aluminium sheet with better resistance to scuffs and minor accident damage, Side fittings are secured from the inside to leave the exterior surface rivet free.
Both box and Luton models are available with roller shutters or rear doors, flat floor or wheelboxes and extruded aluminium or container deck floors.
Tony Ford, sales director of the Telford-based firm, expects production to exceed 1000 units per annum.
