Volvo N12, Titan and a Nicolas

N12 yes
Titan yes
nicholas … sort of yes …

Its made by Nicolas but…

The Nicholas has its own brand name

2 out of 3 aint bad :wink:

Dreva, its not a transcon, lthough it shares the Berliet/Renault/Ford cab

Nicolas Tractomas?

thats the one … :wink:

Hold up - Tractomas is the model name of the wagon which is made by Nicolas (more famous for their trailers).

I identified the middle one as a Titan without specifying the model and you didn’t quibble that one, so that (I think you’ll find) is 3/3 - not 2/3 :wink: :wink:

Tractomas is a subsidary of Nicholas, Tractomas is the name of the brand not the model… the latest variants have the premium cab :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

Are Rotrans any connection to ALE? Ive seen a picture of two of there Fauns in Africa, pulling with Rotrans old Pacifics.

same trucks Dreva - the Tractomas was RDC318X i think, sunters weren’t technically taken over by econofreight (united, part of BET took them over iirc) but eventually ended up with a lot of their old kit

the tractomas was rated for “occasional use at 250 tonnes gtw” according to nicolas themselves - sunters’ beasty often completed moves well over 400 tonnes gross without any other tractor :open_mouth:

Why didnt they fit it with a Magnum AE cab? Are they trying to save weight or something? :stuck_out_tongue:
