The SM Europe was a range of medium/heavy trucks manufactured by the French company Saviem.
In 1967, Saviem launched the Europe cab (Type 860), as part of its extended collaboration with the German MAN. The new cab was also used by MAN models. In return, MAN supplied the engines fitted to the Renault models [2] with the Europe cab (SM10, SM12, SM170, SM200, SM240, SM 260, SM280 and SM300/340 V8).
The SM 10 was powered by the 7.26-litre MAN 0846 HMN84 straight-six engine with a maximum power output of 170 PS (170 bhp ; 130 kW ). The gearbox was the 6-speed Saviem 330.
Both the SM 240 and SM 280 models were powered by an outdated 10.69-litre MAN 2156 [3] turbocharged straight-six engine with a maximum power output of 202 bhp (205 PS; 151 kW). The 32-tonne GVW SM 240 was the only model sold under the Saviem badge in the UK by early 1975. [4] The SM 280 was 36 tonnes GVW. The trucks used a 12-speed manual gearbox from ZF. [3]
The SM300 range was powered by an outdated, Saviem-tuned 14.96-litre 2858 M3 MAN V8 engine with a maximum power output of 304 bhp (308 PS; 227 kW) at 2,200 rpm and a torque of 1,030 N⋅m (760 lb⋅ft ) at 1,600 rpm. [3] Older versions used the similar 2658 M42 version. [1] The gearbox was a 10-speed "synchromesh" unit developed by Saviem [1] [3] and codenamed 350. Brakes were air-operated drums. Suspension was made of leaf springs on both axles, with telescopic dampers on front and anti-roll bar on rear. [1] The trucks had a 38-tonne GVW as a maximum.

The LDV Pilot was the last of a series of a panel vans that was produced by from 1974 until 2005, originally as the 1974 Leyland Sherpa developed by the Austin-Morris division of British Leyland, which was in turn derived from earlier light commercials produced by the British Motor Corporation.

The name "tarō" is a suffix used in Japanese to denote the oldest brother or son, or the first-born son of a family.

The Iveco Daily is a large light commercial van produced by the Italian automaker Iveco since 1978; it was also sold as the Fiat Daily by Fiat until 1983.

The Iveco Daily is produced at the Iveco Suzzara plant, near Mantova in Italy, where Iveco has recently made substantial investments to renew the production lines.
The Daimler Roadliner was a single-decker bus and coach chassis built by Daimler between 1962 and 1972. Notoriously unreliable, it topped the 1993 poll by readers of Classic Bus as the worst bus type ever, beating the Guy Wulfrunian into second place. It was very technologically advanced, offering step-free access some 20 years before other buses; as a coach, it was felt by industry commentators to be in advance of contemporary UK designs.
