Light-Duty Truck, 7.5 t Class
Narrow-bodied 7.5 t rigid for urban work where a heavier vehicle cannot turn or park. It sits at the top of the C1 licence band, so a driver without full category C entitlement can still operate it.
Features
- Cab width and mirror arrangement suited to lanes and inner-city streets, with a kerb-side window for cyclist visibility.
- Chassis cab supplied bare for box, dropside, tipper or workshop bodies.
- Single rear wheels or twin-wheel rear axle, the latter for higher axle loads and better stability with a high body.
- Diesel or battery-electric driveline; the electric version trades payload for depot charging and zone access.
- Manual or automated transmission, with a crawler ratio where the vehicle works on sloped or unmade ground.
