A Dennis 30 cwt. truck averages 16-20 ROAD-miles per gallon of petrol. With the chassis weight of 29 cwt.; body weight 15 cwt.; driver, spare wheel and tools 3 cwt.; and a net load of 30 cwt. the aggregate gross weight is 3 tons 17 cwt. which gives a fuel consumption figure of 61-77 TON-miles per gallon. Work out your present trucking costs on this system, then compare the resultant figures with those given above. You’ll find that Dennis leads in economy of operation as surely as it does in performance, appearance, and value. Sole Agents: Spares and Service. NEW ZEALAND EXPRESS CO. Branches in All Chief Towns.
