»  iceBlock divider for multi-temp bodies  2008 iceblock1.jpg corner.jpg
»  Altered glass type and layup in the body structure, allowing less print through, weight reduction and improved body stiffness 2008
 
»  Redesigned steel front end and dolly, which has overcome almost all cracking issues  2008  
»  Non-leak easy-to-operate effluent valves for stockTake bodies  2008

 » Stiffer and branded landing leg
