• Welsh truck bodybuilder Bedwas is to move into the PCV market with its high-capacity PV600 van.
The Gwent-based manufacturer says the recently launched 16.6mf capacity body — built on a Leyland Daf 400 chassis — is ideal for welfare use because of its height and width.
"We would probably pass our conversion on to other conversion firms to fit it out, but we could do the whole job ourselves if someone was talking sufficiently high volumes," says Bedwas general manager Howard Charlesworth.
The firm has so far sold 11 of the vans to parcels carrier Lynx, and Charlesworth says that welfare authorities are also "making Lines of enquiry".
Bedwas is being helped to market the conversion by Ley
land Daf. Although the PV60( uses the 400 chassis, Bedwa: also fits other smaller bodies or the Ford Transit.
The company claims that tin PV600 offers the highest ca pacity in the market for io weight.
PV600 vans are built ex clusively at the Bedwas plant a Chorley, Lancs.
