AT LEAST 100 jobs .will be created when White Truck Concessionaires open their Merseyside factory (CM June 28) in September.
Fifty jobs will be created when the factory, at Croft Industrial Estate, New Chester Road, Bromborough, opens, and another 50 will follow during the first year. The factory is being leased from the Department of Industry.
The company hopes to sell 150 Road Commander 2 righthand-drive models in the first year, at a cost of £4m. Two basic models will be offered — a 280 bhp version at £30,500 and a 325bhp model at £31,500.
Caterpillar is the standard engine, although Cummins is listed as an option.
Although company policy in America favours custom-built chassis, White does not want to vary the components too much for reasons of parts stocking.
