powerful of Iveco's six-cylinder engines it could equally be used to drive a drawbar chassis and Iveco claims weight and power advantages over its direct competitors. Helped by a plastic fuel tank and alloy air tanks it provides for a payload of 11.84 tonnes, but does not match the 18-tonne unladen weight of Iveco Group member Seddon Atkinson's counterpart. While Iveco's ML day cab is suspended on helical springs and dampers the driver also gets an air suspension seat. In this instance the duel passenger seat option was fitted It is one of the best non-sleeper cabs around with good access, adjustable steering rake and an electrically powered window on the near side. We still don't like the twin stalk control and stowage is never enough. The multiple door pockets are very useful but those in the header rail would be too small to take a map book. Super Cargo comes with an exhaust brake as standard and used with the gears to induce higher engine revs it works particularly well with the slower 4.89:1 axle ratio introduced to suit the 96km/h limited speed. Service brakes no longer have

The ZF steering gear gives responsive control and although the ride can be bumpy over rough roads the suspension doesn't roll much. The truck's Ecotek body\ work was made to minimise drag and \ in ideal weather conditions our Super \ Cargo set a new class record of 14.2mpg \ \\
