The tipper market is as competitive as ever with manufacturers revamping their respective product. The big news though has been the departure of Foden and the arrival of Hino.
Twelve months ago, the number of Hinos sold annually just about made it into the 20s, but these days that is more likely to be a month's business. No sooner had Foden been shown the door by Paccar than Nino stepped in and targeted its market share.
The one-stop-shop. often frowned upon and avoided by heavy truck man ufacturers,seems to be working here, and the order time for vehicles can be as little as 10 days.
Securing the Foden franchises has helped Hino get itself onto the ladder, but if it is to rise above its indirect predecessor Hino needs to concentrate on quality aftersales.
As usual the Dutch and Swedes have the lion's share of the market, but there arc some viable alternatives available.
Mercedes Benz has adjusted the Axor so that it makes a viable option for the lightweight market, while fellow German MAN has been busy making itself a player for aggregates and tarmac.
Iveco is starting to turn some heads with its functional Trakker, although Renault's decision to bin the Premium and leave the Kerax to battle by itself has left the French in limbo in the UK market as it waits for the Lander.
The 18 and 26-tonners are in plentiful supply with many manufacturers. as in the case of the MAN TOM and the Renault Micilurn,offering a smaller chassis specification to offer decent payloads.
