A company I would liked to have driven for…always smart looking motors, and a big Foden user too.Smart looking fleet indeed Senior, and some proper kit on the “heavies”. The Fodens and Kenworths are all gone though, they seem to have switched to a predominately Iveco fleet…
I can remember going in to the P.D.I area at Sandbach Engineering, as it was called in the latter days, and they had some Frederici units in there and the exhaust pipe had to be exactly in line with the outside edge of the drive axle tyre as Mr Frederici reckoned it created a vacuum and gave better fuel econonmy. I had a lift back to Cannock in their Mickey Mouse 2 stroke Foden breakdown truck, still got the headache now!
I wonder if that really made a difference… weren’t those Fodens CAT powered?
