In view of recent developments in Southern Africa, regarding the hardening
attitude towards left hand drive H.G.V.’s (Heavy Goods Vehicles) operating in
predominately R.H.D. countries, we at Mammoth Trucks BC Ltd. have decided to
give our customers what effectively is a ‘custom engineered’ pre-owned truck,
which combine the attributes of both a European cab design with a North American
power train.
Nothing new really – except for new trucks, ERF, Foden, Liaz, Seddon-Atkinson
etc have done this for years. However for a used truck this has not been
economically viable as the cost of conversion to R.H.D. on a C.O.E. North
American truck is vey expensive (we know because we are
converters) which effectively adds between 30% to 50% of the initial purchase
price to the converted vehicle. Much too high! this takes the "cherry" off the
North American (truck) "pie", leading to truckers rushing to the U.K. to buy
R.H.D. horses from Mercedes Benz, MAN, Volvo, Scania, et al – but the negative
side is 4x2 or 6x2 configurations! – not 6x4 which legally is the only
acceptable form of providing traction ‘and’ weigh bridge conformation. So what’s
our solution? Take an N14 or S-60 powered conventional (bonneted) day cab from
suppliers (International, Freightliner, Kenworth, Volvo, Ford, Sterling, etc.)
and install a good used European R.H.D. cab.
All Engineering work will be done in North America and the client will
receive a "ready to haul" truck. Donor chassis will be within model years
1996-2000 (last year of N14)
