MANs built in Middlewich?
 
Having read:-
Quote:

ERF's final model range consisted of the ECT, ECM and ECL built on MAN's production line in Nuremberg (for heavy trucks), and a plant in Middlewich for light trucks (positioned to win a contract from the Ministry of Defence for 8,000 new British Army trucks).
from:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ERF_%28...anufacturer%29
and noting the MAN military vehicles that were 'caught' on the M1, I wonder what (if anything) MAN are currently building at Middlewich?

On one hand it wouldn't make sense to establish a production line for specialist (military) vehicles in the UK (all the components would have to be shipped-in as well as 'tooling' for assembly) whilst on the other hand, building 8000 vehicles is no small order (albeit the orders will be spread over several years).

I found this:- http://www.tnn.co.uk/Manufacturers/p...-10.9507671658 (from 2004)
