First up was this cute little street sweeper. Much smaller than the usual rig, it must be used for pathways and trails or other roadways that are too narrow for the bigger units.
The RAVO is a Dutch manufacturer, part of the Fayat Group, a French company. Very well known in Europe, they are fairly recent arrivals in this country. The RHD configuration allows the driver to cosy up to curbs where most of the road grit accumulates over the winter months.
Somewhat larger in scale is this well used European Volvo that I discovered driving around near the Fairview Cove terminal, so perhaps it had recently arrived from Europe. it didn't appear to have local plates or permits.
The rig was also equipped with an unusual looking Multlift body.
The plates it did carry were "SF 53 WFD" .

That's a UK registration number. Records show the vehicle hasn't been used on UK roads since July 2018.
