ECX and ECT Olympics

摘要

The new generation ERFs first broke cover four months after MAN's buyout in 2000 (see box). The ECS model featured what was basically a steel MAN F2000 cab with a redesigned front grille and no high-roof option. However, the ECX retained the Sandbach signature composite plastic construction on a slightly reworked EC steel cab frame, in addition to the Olympic option. Redesigned cab panels helped air flow, while raised door catches did away with ERF's often-reported dirty door handle issues. To accommodate a higher floor line, raised by 110mm to take high-power Cummins Signature engines, a visibly taller roof line incorporated better storage than the EC predecessor, with deep overhead lockers and a new fold-up wardrobe.
