BL's board has agreed that Le land is to go ahead with its Te rier replacement, codenama MT 211.
During the recent strike at Le+ land Vehicles, further inves ment in the overall replacemei programme was suspende which caused uncertainty aboi the future of the MT211 and th MT 207 replacement for th heavier Boxer range.
Because the MT 207 pro gramme was more advanced was thought that this was likel to survive but the same did n( apply to the 7.5 tonne model.
With the strike over, BL agree last week to restart work on th project, and Leyland says thâ– work will proceed on both no ranges with the MT 207 likely 1 appear at the Motor Show in 01 tober.
The new vehicles will be bui at Leyland's Lancashire plan though Bathgate will supply th engines.
