• FRE has unveiled the operational details of its latest Fuel Duel exercise. The major change
is that Fuel Duel booXings will be made through an operator's local dealership instead of centrally via ERF's HQ. Also, a wider range of tractors will be available to handle specific requirements.
Each of ERF's 17 distributors has one EC116x2 tractor to the standard spec of Cummins Euro-2 1SP 380 with Eaton SSeries 16-Speed transmission. but they also have access to a pool of other specs held at Sandbach. These include power outputs from 340-440hp. 4x2s, 6x2 Lite mid-lifts and tractors equipped with pumps and to Petroleum Regulations.
ERF reports that early enquiries are showing a surprising level of interest in the 440hp rating. Various levels of air management will be available...and the new Fuel Duel livery doesn't have a flower in sight.
Another change is that the Road Relay data, containing the operational information obtained during the test period, can now be downloaded remotely by GSM mobile phone link instead of the driver's having to connect a laptop computer to the truck
