its Spanish parent, Enasa, from the middle of next year. Seddon has just announced its own new premium truck range, the Strato, (see page 52), which uses the same cab as the ironer and has engines of similar powers, but the company sees a small market in Britain for the Troner as well. Some operators working on Continental routes, says the company, would be happier running the Pegaso, for which there is a better back-up in Europe, than the exclusively RHD Strato. The Pegaso will probably be sold in 270kW form in Britain. Not all Seddon Atkinson dealers will offer the Pegaso, and sales of the ironer — to be imported fully-built-up — are expected to be quite small. Although the common design of the Pegaso/Seddon Atkinson version of the Cabtec cab would allow the swapping of engines, there are no plans to offer the Troner with the Strato's Cummins power options, or to fit the Strato with the Pegaso engine.
