• James Jones & Sons of Stirlingshire is the new importer of the Steyr-Daimler-Puch Pinzgauer all-terrain vehicle which is designer to handle grades of up to 50%.
Available in 4x4 and 6x6 versions, the Pinzgauer has a 2.4litre water-cooled, six-cylinder turbo-diesel engine developing 77kW at 4,350rpm.
It features a central tubular chassis with portal swing axles and an integrated transfer box and axle drive.
Both models have fullysynchronised ZF five-speed transmissions and dual circuit, power-assisted disc brakes. The 4x4 has an automatic levelling device on the rear axle and both vehicles have a 335mm ground clearance and 700mm fording depth for covering rough ground and rivers, plus short overhangs allowing the vehicles to make an angle of approach of 40°.
There are a number of versions, from a flat to a box body, as well as ambulances and fire appliances.
