[zb] anorak…and other ‘general’ ERF-experts
Thank you for this fresh input…I have been told (perhaps tippers etc were not involved)
that plastic (so LV) was not allowed to enter for example Germany, due to some worries
with electrical devices as well as safety (collisions) in general. In 1975 that ‘problem’ was
no longer an issue as I then often joined trips with a ERF-B towards Germany. So it might
be the steel version from the very first moment. Delcon was perhaps ‘activating’ some pos-
sible problems which Sandbach-HQ did want to prevent ending in warranty and claims?
I assume (will try to verify) that assembly of the Belgian-ERF ended the moment the 7MW
equivalent to NG-series came on the market early 1972 and were fully assembled in UK to
my opinion. ■■■■■■■ Distributor Belgium (previous Ets. A. Denonville) did a lot on general
assemly as for White/Autocar and in early days also with Scania-Vabis, for which they were
importer from 1949 towards 1979 when bought back by the Swedish…
