Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Mercedes Benz's 7.5 tonne T2 integral panel van has been used as a basis for two very different specialist vehicles. These are for Crane Fruehauf parts delivery, and for Group 4 Security high-security cashin-transit work.

The Group 4 Security trial order is for two 811D Integral vans to be converted by specialist bodybuilders J E Johnson and Son of Toddington, Gloucester. The specification includes a heavily armoured bodyshell, a 31mmthick one piece windscreen, and many secret security devices that bring the total value of the vehicle up to around 240,000 — twice the value of a standard 811D van.

Group 4 has also ordered four 8111) vans for it's new parcels delivery service, Nightspeed Early Bird, and has placed a further £200,000 order for 10 more 8111) vans for high security conversion.

Group 4 is delighted with the performance of the M-B 811D vans in both high security and parcels work: "This may be the van we have been waiting for," says Group 4's Dennis Murray.
