As MAN ERF UK welcomes visitors to its DVD stand this year,
the first batch of finished vehicles of a total order for
over 7000 MAN trucks for the British Armed Forces are now
ready for delivery. Already, over 100 units have now left
MAN ERF’s military truck facility at Ashchurch in Gloucestershire
for their acceptance inspection to join the British Armed
Forces Support Vehicle fleet of cargo, tanker and recovery
trucks.
The new fleet of 4x4, 6x6 and 8x8 trucks will replace the
ageing Leyland and Bedford 4, 8 and 14 tonne cargo vehicles
currently deployed worldwide, as well as the Foden Recovery
Vehicle. The new fleet is based on leading edge but well-proven
TGA technology, already established in MAN’s commercial
vehicles right across Europe.
