• As predicted, (CM 26 October-1 November), AWD launches a major assault on the international construction market this month, with the launch of two powerful new tippers.

A Fuller RIO 14609A ninespeed rangechange gearbox comes as standard, but 16speed ZF 16S220 and Trans

matic gearboxes are available as options.

Tadchurch rubber-suspended walking-beam suspension controls the rear axles, with semielliptic multi-leaf springs fitted up front and dampers all round.

The M15-18 is aimed at civilian and military markets. It is powered by the 135kW (181hp) Perkins Phaser six-litre intercooled turbodiesel, driving through a Spicer T5C 4292 five-speed synchromesh gearbox and two-speed transfer box, which gives 4x2 high ratio and 4x4 high or low ratio drive options.
