Abroad range offers the lightweight nine-litre to the robust 12 8-ttre with the latter finding work all too easy.
The SCR engines are available for Euro-4/5 with the I-Shift transmission saving weight and clutch abuse for the fleet managers sensitive to payload. A new EGR Euro-4 model adds to the appeal. There are four cabs across the FM lineup—day, low sleeper, sleeper
and Globetrotter— just about all the specifications to suit from urban tractor to fleet long distance. I-Shift is arguably its biggest selling point as well as the 12.8-litre engine, which is marginally over specified.
