Owners Iveco has pointed Seddon Atkinson at the municipal and construction sector as a means of securing its future, allowing the company to develop the range to suit the needs of the market. Current eight-wheeler offering uses cab from Inca sat atop a Cummins ISMe engine and matched to ZF's 16-speed transmission. Combined with rubber suspended rear bogie and drum braking all-round, the Strata boasts one of the lightest chassis-cab weights on the market.
The main test criticisms of the Strato has been an overtighl gearshift and an aging cab. The cab will be sorted in 21106 when Seddon launches a lightweight version of the Iveco Trakker for the UK market, most likely powered by Iveco's own Cursor engine line-up.
In addition to the 8x4 range, Seddon Atkinson also boasts a new 6x4 and 4x2 tipper range, both ol which are based on the Iveco Eurocargo and share the same low-weight characteristics as the eight-wheeler.
Lightweight Decent engine performance Poor gearshift Old-fashioned cab VERDICT Worth close consideration for aggregate operations
