Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

but we'd already agreed to one by then

Hino's 'traditional' manufacturing approach offers operators, in spirit if not in form, a Foden-like truck that doesn't have modern-day gadgets, cruise control, semi-auto box and electronics dictating economic driving, and without the headache of bespoke engineering.

Phill predicted in 2006 that as it had few electronics you would still be able to get the Hino going if it broke down— however he hasn't had the opportunity yet to put this to the test.

Now, with the fleet up to seven Hinos and one Foden, Robb regularly brings in subcontractors to keep up with the work.

As darkness descends and the trucks return to the yard, Michael 'Chuffa' Nicholson rolls in and fuels up. He was one of the original recipients of a Hine on the Sweeting of Leeds fleet and now runs a newer version. He is still more than happy with the truck.
