 RED
IS THE NEW ‘GREEN’ WITH KINGSWOOD’S
EURO 5 FH-400
Bracknell-based pallet recycling specialist Kingswood
Pallets has taken delivery of a Volvo FH-400 4x2
tractor unit finished in a striking Ferrari Red.
The vehicle, which is fitted with a Euro 5-compliant
engine - just three months after the Euro 4 regulations
took force - and an I-Shift automated gearbox,
will operate at 34 tonnes  GCW.
 15 years at the wheel of the Dakar sag-wagon
For Jean-Maurice Sauvard,
this 2007 edition of the Dakar Rally will be his
15th. As before, he will be driving one of the ASO
sag-wagons responsible for picking up unlucky competitors
who fail to finish a given stage or are forced to
pull out of the rally. Lost
bikers, car drivers having broken down or suffered
accidents… the list is long of those competitors
who get lost or stuck in the sand and the inextricable
dunes of the African desert.
