Axle-weight plan proposed by Amsterdam Show president

• The suggestion that an 11.5-ton axle weight might be adopted as a compromise between 10and 13-ton national limits, at least for a transitional period, in Europe was made by Mr. W. Sink, president of RAI (the Dutch equivalent of the SMMT) on Monday. He was speaking in Holland before the official opening of the Amsterdam Show.
Mr. Srnit was making a plea for standardization of European vehicle regulations on everything from lighting to gross weights. And he asked for a 15.5-metre artic length limit to allow 40ft containers to be carried.
The Show itself, which opened yesterday (Thursday), has 25 per cent more floor area than before and provides 400,000 sq.ft. of stand space, but some of its importance is obviously lost through proximity to the Geneva Show which overlaps Amsterdam's dates, writes Tony Wilding.
DAF, which has its new tilt-cab range at Geneva, has kept a higher-weight model with turbocharged version of its new 8.25litre diesel back for its "own" show, and also has a p.s.v. chassis with DAF underfloor diesel in place of the Leyland used previously.
While the top weight of the new DAF range goes up for Amsterdam, Fiat has extended downwards, keeping back a fighter model of its new truck range for this show. This 684 four-wheeler has the same cab as the Geneva models (pages 56-59) but the
lower-powered engine and a slightly reduce( gross weight.
A big Japanese contingent at the Dutcl show includes interesting new Datsur models, a car-based van on the Volvo stand and a light pick-up-based attic from Peugeot.
A full, illustrated report will appear in CM next week.
