AM always very grateful for ve publicity and so I was leased indeed to see a picture nd mention of the TERBERG ehicles in your issue for week nding February 13th. My leasure turned to dismay, owever, when I read the aption to the photograph and le editorial mention.
The vehicle pictured is a ERBERG Model F1900 8x8 esigned to operate at 44 tonnes ross but your caption stated let the machine used Volvo "F7 Jnning gear". In fact, the axles re TERBERG products rated for 3 tonnes each on the rear and 9 )nnes each on the front.
Then again, the editorial iention made it appear as if the x2 Model F1550 was a straight Volvo Model F7 16-tonner with an additional axle. In fact, the chassis uses Rockwell axles and is a TERBERG product built for use in very restricted areas. For this reason, the rear axle is steered and a number are already in use with the Dutch equivalent of the Milk Marketing Board.
TERBERG enjoy very good relations with Volvo and use Volvo engines and cabs in the majority of their chassis.
However, the TERBERG range is wholly TERBERG designed and built using their own distinctive varied-thickness frame and axles of Rockwell, Terberg, ZF and Faun manufacture. Might I, in all humility, suggest that your writer brush up on his axle identification!
As concessionaires for TERBERG in Great Britain and Ireland, we are naturally keen to introduce the marque to the widest possible audience and so I hope that your journal will accept our correction in the interests of accuracy and with our thanks for including TERBERG in your excellent account of what must be Europe's most pleasant commercial vehicle exhibition. , FRANK TINSDALE LTD. Commerce House Done Drive VVinsford UNFORTUNATELY, in spite of numerous visits to the Terberg stand on press day, we were unable to find anyone to answer our queries about the vehicles. When finally we did speak to someone, on the first public day, we received the information which we printed. If some errors in translation were responsible for the inaccuracies, we apologise to Frank Tinsdale. — Editor.
