• A Foden 2200 4x2 rigid equipped with a prototype commercial vehicle body styling package from York Trailers is currently touring the UK with the Foden roadshow.
The system is made from moulded GRP and is intended to complement York's range of rigid bodywork.
It is due to undergo wind tunnel tests later this year, adds 145kg to the 17-tonne Foden 2200's unladen weight and costs 21,300.
Side skirts are available in any colour and to suit any chassis length and depth, with fuel access flaps included.
Options include top hinged side panels with gas strut assistance, stowage boxes and spare wheel carriers.
Where a curtain-sided body is fitted, the skirts have moulded cut-outs to accommo
date the curtain tensioners.
The rear panels include an integral underrun bumper, recessed lights and step rail.
The full-width front spoiler has side fairings, profiled to match Foden's cab-roofmounted aerofoil system. Versions to suit other makes will become available.
A small gap is left between the body panel and cab to allow tilting for maintenance.
