REYNOLDS BOUGHTON has introduced a tropicalised version of its RB44 four-wheel drive vehicle for overseas markets.
An unsophisticated system of air vents draws air from the front grille which is boosted through to the cab floor via the existing electric blower.
Venting ducts have also been fitted to the bonnet to cool the engine while opening quarter lights and a sliding rear window assist air flow through the cab. A sun reflector shield can be fitted on top of the roof and insulated inside.
The RB 44 can now be specified with a Range-Rover V8 3.5-litre petrol engine with either automatic or manual gearbox, while the Bedford 214 six-cylinder petrol and Perkins 6.247 diesel engines are available as alternative power sources.
All models are equipped with two-speed transfer boxes which provide for permanent fourwheel drive at a gross train weight of 7.5 tonne with a payload of up to 2.54 tonnes.
