UD Nissan Diesel CWS.60

Hi all,

Was just wondering if anyone out there knew anything about this truck, a UD CWS.60:



Detroit Diesel Series 60 12.7 430hp:


I believe these were made as a one-off model before the introduction of the CW/CWA445 series - CWA is the airbag suspended model while the CW had the 6 rod suspension!

One question though: was this UD Nissan Diesel's first serious attempt at a linehaul B-Double prime mover??? According to the ad, this truck is 90 tonne rated with ABS - 2 pre-requisites for a B-Double prime mover!

Brochures will be greatly appreciated - PM me for my email/snail mail address!

i remember when the 1st prototype hit the road, would have been about 10 years ago, was towing a tanker, i think it was on loan too mc colls, or booths, not quite sure, but it was one of those two companys

Cement Australia was a big user of them! I saw one a while back with a pneumatic tanker on the back!

joe,

there is a few ud's running around up here. one pulls b-double flat tops and emerald quarries has one pulling double road train tippers. ill take notice what models they are next time i see them.

Paul,

Thanks - photos are good! Cement Australia had one too - haven't seen it for a while though.... I'm scared this might be theirs!

If they are doing that, this is more likely what they'll be!
