The LV was introduced in 1962, with Fail Safe spring brakes being fitted as standard from 1967. ERF was the first British truck manufacturer to adopt spring brakes, all other manufacturers eventually followed suit. Spring brakes are still fitted as an industry standard to HGV's today. The A-Series was introduced in 1971 but did not replace the LV models The A Series were nearly all tractor units (although a handful of 4 x 2 rigid vehicles were built for drawbar work) and there were never any eight wheeler or 6 wheeler rigid A Series built, except special experiment vehicles of which none are known to have survived. All these six and eight wheelers are LV's as are four-wheel rigid vehicles and all tractor units with underslung rear springs, despite sometimes sharing the 7LV cab with the A Series.
