• Newly appointed lveco Ford heavy truck specialist North East Truck and Van is offering a fully factory-approved Pet-reg conversion on the latest EuroTech tractor range.
Available through NE's specialist engineering division the Pet-reg conversion has a GRP firescreen made with class II fire retardant resin; electrics converted to insulated return; a revised exhaust with a stainlesssteel outlet pipe and screen; and a modified air vent in the roof.
The conversion is carried out at North East's Billingham dealer site and takes about 14 days to complete. The first two Pet-reg EuroTechs two-axle 400E34 sleepers—have gone to NFC subsidiary Tankfreight.
NE's specialist engineering division is also carrying out a development exercise on the Super Cargo six-wheeler for mixer applications. The Super Cargo 6x4 (launched at the recent TipCon show) comes with rubber suspension on the back bogie. However, for mixer work NE is converting a pilot chassis back to a two-spring asymmetric nonreactive set-up based on the previous steel-sprung bogie used on the old Cargo mixer chassis.
The pilot chassis has also been fitted with a sandwich-type PT-0 between the engine and gearbox.
