N.O.S. Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Protruck - could you tell us briefly what happened to Unipower following the closure, and if any remnants of the company/designs still exist please? :coffee: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
protruck Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) Alvis closed Unipower in August 2000 moving the production of the Unipower RIV 4x4 to Telford. There are a couple of engineers from unipower still working there. When the production of the RIV finished Alvis decided they didn't wont to build wheeled vehicles any more so that was that. I understand that the Telford site is due to close at the end of this year. If there is any info regarding the Unipower vehicles built at Watford give me a shout, If I can help I will.

Scammell4199 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Do you know what happened to the 12 wheeler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
protruck Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 yes. its not in the uk. It was built as a bridging Vehicle for india. It was the prototype and I beleave some more were built under licence in india, but how many i don't know. This vehicle was 55ft long x3.5m wide and great fun. If I am correct in saying I think this is the only 12x8 ever built in the uk. Clive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

protruck Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) I always find this photo pleasing Unipower badges Scammell S24 bridging truck, look at the size of those boots. I am aware that some wreckers were sold in the middle east but did the bridging truck seen here gain any sales abroad Hi Les. The S24 bridging Vehicle ( S24 6x6 Drops ) where built for Thailand for a company called Williams Fairy Engineering which had a contract to supply 3 for the Thailand Army. They were ordered in March 1990, the first one was completed in May 1990 chassis number CB10016 and the last 2 were completed in July 1990 chassis numbers CB10017 & CB10018. I'll post some pics of them being tested when i can upload them to my computer.
