El:11.111'01'HE r-, J When we introduced the 200
Series last year, our choice of engine caused considerable comment. Although the D-358 diesel had been in production since 1965 and 50,000 were in operation round the world, it was virtually unknown to British truck users.
So its announcement came as something of a rprise.
There were even cynics who suggested it ,d been chosen only because it was an International irvester 'in house' product.
They couldn't have been more mistaken. The D-358 was specified for its long tablished record of reliability, a design rout that simplifies servicing d excellent fuel consumption er a wide speed range.
But you don't have to take r word for it. Recent tests leading transport journalists ould have convinced even cynics that our decision was sed on performance not nvenience.
However, we wouldn't e you to think that the cellence of the D-358 is
only reason for the success our 16 tonner. The fact that re are already over six ndred on the road proves it the 200 Series has more to etthan just a remarkable engine.
