UNABLE to find what he wanted in Europe, a Thailand distributor of commercial vehicles, Mr. T. Suthian, managing director of Thai Pradith Co.. Ltd., of Bangkok, came to Britain and placed an initial order for four XD8 third-axle conversion kits with The York Trailer Co., Ltd., Corby, Northants.
Mr. Suthian's concern distributes Magirus-Deutz vehicles in Thailand. He spent a good deal of time at the York factory./ where he was welcomed by the managing director, Mr. F. W. Davies, and the manager of YorY's Third-axle Division, Mr. W. P. Bloomfield.
Mr. Suthian said that the initial order would probably be developed into a regular order for at least four such conversion kits per month. " Six-wheelers are now essential in my country for the bigger payloads, owing to legal restrictions," he explained.
Arrangements are being made for Thai Pradith to become York's official agents in Thailand, handling the full range of York semi-trailers.
