by Daf and lveco. With styling based on its TGA big brother, the TGL will be available in three versions -C, Land LX -the latter two being for heavier and longdistance operations. The single-step-entry C cab, which has been modified to sit lower on the chassis, is likely to be the best seller in the UK, Lynne and Fred Hughes, who run Wolverhampton-based Coast to Coast Transport, were among the first operators to get a close look at the TGL. They currently run a single Iveco 7.5-tonner in their fleet and are considering replacing it with a higher GVW truck to cope with heavier loads. 'The TGL is a good looking vehicle much more up-todate and modern looking than the L2000," says Fred. With three TGA tractor units in the fleet, the Hughes also like the idea of leaving all their servicing to a single dealership.
Alex Roberts of J Roberts Contractors is more interested in whether the TGL is robust. He's looking for a new vehicle for his demolition and waste management firm, replacing an Iveco 7.5-tonner, Like the Hughes, Roberts and his colleague Simon Milner reckon the TGL is much better looking than its predecessor: 'It looks better, and that's important as your vehicle is part of your company image," says Roberts. But I want to know more about the details."
Another show visitor to be impressed with the TGL's new styling is Stan Devonshire who works for bathroom specialist Miller from Sweden. He currently runs a 7.5-tonne Atego, but the firm has bought MANs before.
"We prefer high-spec premium products, and our Ategos are high-roof twin sleepers," he says. "We'll certainly be looking at the MAN as there are a lot of cab options. Next time we have to replace our fleet it could be a close call."
