ERF ECM

ERF's rigid takes only a small proportion of its sales, but it's a market the firm is keen to grow. At its launch, the ECM was available with MAN's DOS 220 and 280hp engines, but some re-engineering by the ERF engineers means it is also now available with the whisper-quiel Cummins ISBe. The Cummins powered unit is fantastically economical, and married to the EF six-speed box it provides a relaxing drive, but also available with an Eaton in some models. The interior is a triumph of functionality over style, but it does the job and provides a comfortable working environment. Available as a 4x2 rigid, 6x2 rearlift rigid, 6x2 rearsteer rigid and 8x4 on/oft road tipper. Models range from 18-33 tonnes GVW, and come with day cabs as standard, sleepers available as an option.
REASONS TO 13 Easy, relaxed drive Very quiet Fantastic fuel economy Slightly old fashioned interior VERDICT The ECM, while being dated on the inside, is a great truck to drive and lifters lower fuel bills
