Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Knowles (Transport) of Wimblington, Cambridge, has bought six new Scalia tractive units — the first to be purchased by the company — for its hulk haulage operations.

The D-registration P112M 6x2 RS 28s are fitted with Scania DS11-15 engines rated at 227kW (305hp) coupled to ten-speed range change gearboxes.

Knowles opted for the Scania artics following recent fuel consumption trials. According to managing director Tony Knowles the P112M returned nearly 35.3 liti100km (8mpg) on 38-tonne GVW bulk haulage work running between South Wales and Wimblington.
