• Ten right-hand-drive Pegaso Troner 360 TX 38-tonne tractive units will arrive in the UK for fleet operator trials next month.
The 268kW (360hp) Troner TX evaluation vehicle will be a 4x 2 high-roof model with airsuspension and ABS. It shares the same basic cab design as the Leyland Daf 95 Series and the Seddon Atkinson Strato with all three cabs produced at the jointly-owned Dal/Enasa Cabtec plant in Spain.
Trials are expected to last six months, after which Enasa will decide on the final Troner specification for the British market, with full supply starting by the end of the year.
The names of the UK hauliers taking part in the trials have not been released but they are likely to be existing Seddon Atkinson customers — Enasa owns the Oldham-based truck builder — with service backup on the Troner provided by SA dealers.
Pegaso builds its own 12litre four-valve-per-cylinder, Troner engine.
