Not shy about mentioning its UK heritage, BMC aims its modest Turkish-built UK rigid chassis product range primarily at municipal and waste collection markets. It currently offers three models: the 'Professional' 518.625 and 628 series.
The 4x2 518 uses narrow, Pininfarina-designed day, crew and 'long-day' cabs, with a Cummins engine, ZF gearbox and Mentor rear axle at a GVW of 12.7 tonnes. The 625 is a similar specification 18-tonner. The 628 series offers a choice of either normal cabbed 4x2 18-tonne rigid, or a three-axle, 26-tonne municipal chassis with a low entry cab. An 8x4 chassis with a similar driveline is in the pipeline for spring 2009, and buyers can opt for ready bodied trucks, thus purchasing a complete package from a single manufacturer.
