The minute I said that Foden's Swiss export drive hadn't been a roaring sucess (or words to that effect) I just KNEW I was going to get some flak. And so I did... Anyroadup just to keep everyone hapy here's a shot of one of the Fodens bought by the aforementioned and much-commented upon Swiss operator Friderici. But guys... Let's get real here if Foden was the truck everyone says it was it would still be building them..and UK operators would still be buying them. Only they aren't and you aren't. Sad but true...
i have admired the friederici fleet ever since a good friend gave me a photo of one of their kw's that was parked next to him in the londra in 1974.a haulier that i drove for had around 30 sk mercs. and 4 4000 series cummins powered fodens,i have to say the fodens were like driving down the road in a garden shed compared to the iron lung sk's.sorry boys,but the truth does have a nasty habbit of upsetting people.
