Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• MAN's F90 19.462 has made its debut with a British operator, joining the fleet of Le Fort Taylor International, based at Bury St Edmunds.

The big left-hand-drive MAN is powered by a 338kW D2840LF 18.3-litre 10-cylinder engine. Owner Alf Taylor claims it returned 38.751it/ 100km (7.29mpg) on its first 2,600km round trip to Italy, operating at an average 36.75 tomies GCW.

Taylor chose the MAN in continental specification because it will spend most of its time across the Channel. MAN says a British specification version of the truck, the 17.462, is currently being demonstrated in the UK, but will only become available on production from September, priced around 258,000 ex-VAT.
