Yorkhill Quay—John Stewart
(Larbert) Ltd.
THE newly introduced (to the UK market) Saviem 36-280 TU makes its Scottish debut by courtesy of the Scottish distributors John Stewart (Larbert) Ltd. It is powered by a turbocharged version of the MAN 2156 power unit which is installed in the 32-ton SM 32-240.
A 38-ton SM 340V with a "Middle East" cab heads the display on the distributor's stand. The cab follows the same lines as those announced recently by other manufacturers and features a fridge, cooker, sink and storage space for food and clothes. This cab will also be available on the 36-280 model. The power unit for the Saviem 340 is a 2858 M4 MAN V8 which produces 227kW (304bhp) at 2,200rpm with the maximum torque of 1,030Nm (7601bft) coming in at 1,600rpm. A Saviem built 10-speed synchromesh gear box is specified as opposed to the ZF 12-speed units used in the 32 and 36-ton models.
