• By the end of 1993 Oldhambased truck maker Seddon Atkinson will have a new 17-tonner on the market which is expected to have the latest Cargo cab on a proprietary driveline.
Speaking at an Iveco Ford press conference last week, Seddon boss Bob Sculfor confirmed that previous plans to use a cab sourced from SA's Spanish parent company Pegaso have now been "scrapped".
The proposed Pegaso middleweight cab was to have been based upon the MAN M90 cab, using major structural components including the floorpan, roof and front and rear bulkheads, but with original exterior styling panels from Pegaso and Seddon Atkinson.
Sculfor says only that "we will use a cab from another source", but the most obvious choice must be the latest EuroCargo Concept cab, referred to within the Iveco group as SPR.
By offering the new Cargo cab on a pro
prietary driveline Seddon Atkinson would provide an alternative to the forthcoming 17-tonne New Cargo, which is expected to be powered by an Iveco engine in place of Cummins, This would fit the Iveco Group's strategy of using Iveco Ford to supply Iveco-engined products in the UK, while leaving Seddon to cater for traditional UK operators who prefer bespoke, rather than integrated, drivelines.
The current Motor Panelscabbed 17.21P Seddon 17-tonner is fitted with the Perkins Phaser engine and Eaton gear
box, but with the arrival of the Cargo-cabbed 17-tonner SA could well expand the engine options at that weight.
There is no suggestion that Seddon would use the New Cargo cab in any other weight. 0 Seddon Atkinson Strato eight-leggers powered by the 205kW (275hp) Cummins CSeries engine will be offered with optional fully automated Allison transmissions. The HT750 gearbox, engineered into the chassis for industrial waste collector applications, is expected to add some £8,000 to the chassis price.
