Grandstand view (A T TH E R O Y A L L A N C A SH IR E S H O W )


The wide-awake look of the Ergomatic Cab gives the Freightline driver the finest possible all-round view. From start to finish of any journey he’s in control. Alert. Aware of eventualities before they become events. 33 sq. ft. of safety glass gives him panoramic vision. Close and distant view mirrors keep him .informed of traffic behind. And when dirty weather obscures the vievy, powerful compressed- air wipers and demister jets soon restore it. No wonder the Freightline driver is a happier, safer and more efficient driver. He knows precisely where-he’s going I The Ergomatic Cab is a standard feature of the Freightline range, which consists of 32 low weight and heavy duty haulage, tipper and tractor chassis designed for gross ratings from 116 to 32 tons. ■
