Disappointing
WHEN a vehicle is presented for test, the manufacturer usually prepares it to give the best possible account of itself. By prepares I do not mean that the truck has any special treatment — merely that it should be in the state in which an operator would take delivery. No more and no less. We had problems with the test of the Magirus Deutz 310D 19FFS, many of which could be laid at the door of poor preparation.
This particular Maggie was powered by a naturally aspirated 14.7-litre (897cuin) engine in V10 configuration. Like all the models in the Maigrus range, the engine was, of course, air cooled. Developing 224kW (301 bhp), the engine was coupled to an eight-speed, range-change gearbox from ZF.
The Magirus returned an overall fuel consumption of 43.6 lit/100km (6.5mpg) and although this would have been about par for the course only two years ago the current generation of new vehicles have pushed up the average and the Maggie must be considered as thirsty. On top of this, it was the slowest conventional 32-tonner we tested during the year.
The sleeper-cab had plenty of room and was a pleasant environment in which to work.
