• The TR 300 tractive unit introduced by Automobiles Berliet at the 1970 Paris Show has been replaced by the TR 320, a more powerful version with the bores of its V8 engine enlarged to give a capacity of 14.88 litres and a maximum output of 310 bhp. Max. torque has also been increased, and is now achieved at lower rpm.
The results of the changes are shown in the comparative graphs published here.
CM last week tried one of the new models (rated for 35/38 metric tons gcw) on French roads; the report is published on page 42, while comments on Berliet's current situation and the axle-weight limit dilemma appear on page 58.
