Alpha distribution rigid is basically a re-badged version of parent company Dais CF65, sold through the Foden dealer network and offered as a 4x2 rigid only. A slight re-styling of the cab sets the two vehicles apart, but the same 5.9-litre. Cummins engine is employed at 185, 220 and 250hp. Top power option the pick for fully freighted 18-tonne operations.
Like the Oaf, the Alpha makes a strong case in this sector with excellent in-cab comlor1combining with good driveability; the handling is a particularly strong characteristic thanks to well balanced steering.
Same product strengths as Cat CF65 6. Superb cab comfort REASONS T -‘ Mediocre payload VERDICT Not a major seller in this sector, but definitely worth a closer look
