News from the welding shop about our two ACV-17R1 cement trucks.

We've completed the external welding of the tank for the second cement truck. We've also cut a hole for the hatch. The next tasks for this tanker are the internal welding and installation of an air pocket.

The second cement truck is already on the chassis; we've written about this before. But there's still a lot of work to do on it, including painting.

If you were to check the checklist for all the steps involved in manufacturing the ACV-17R1, it would take many pages. The work is painstaking and time-consuming. You can't do everything at once; it's important to tackle the tasks sequentially.
