6 vehicle of rt 12-ft. 3-in. wheelbase has been developed by Transport Vehicles (Thornycroft), Ltd. In the past,the Nubian has been a .4'x 4, and many components used in the original model are employed in the latest version.
This has the latest CR611 5.51-litre oil engine developing 90 b.h.p. at 2,200 r.p.m, and delivering a maximum torque of 232 lb.-ft. at 1,300 r.p.m.
The clutch and five-speed main gearbox are mounted as a unit with the engine. A transfer gearbox providing two ratios is mounted midway between the front axle and the forward axle of the rear bogie. Hydraulic brakes with an air pressure servo take effect on all wheels.
An example of the new Nubian will be shown at Earls Court.
