• Yugo will be strengthening its attack on the UK small truck market with a 3.5-tonne version of its Z50.8N 4.5tonner minibus and car transporter. Tipper variants may also be added to the Iveco-engined range.
Discussions about the new models are taking place between Iveco and the Yugoslavian manufacturer, Zastava. So far 12 Yugo truck dealers have been appointed. The 4.5-tonne trucks are currently only available through the company's headquarters in Reading, which might explain why sales so far are a modest 13 vehicles.
Current body options are an aluminium alloy dropside body, and a box van with two side doors and two rear doors, on 3.0m or 3.6m wheelbases. A car transporter with a semi demountable body is now in the UK for evaluation, and a 16+1 seater minibus is expected by the end of May.
Prices start at £10,500 exVAT for the 4.5-tonne chassiscab; the integral van costs R12,500 ex-VAT; the deluxe minibus is 220,000 ex-VAT, and the car transporter £14,035 ex-VAT.
▪ Commercial versions of the
new Skoda Faverit hatchback will be a long time coming to the -UK, because the Czechovslovakian factory is
having enormous difficulties in producing the passenger car version in the volumes required for export markets.
The factory is using imported robots to manufacture the Faverit, but production difficulties, and country-wide economic problems mean that actual production of the car will be much lower than planned.
A commercial version of the Faverit will have to wait until a two-door version of the vehicle is manufactured, which could take several years.
