The Leyland OE engine (OE.138/OE.160) is a diesel, pushrod (OHV) straight-four engine based on the Standard 23C design and redesigned by Leyland Motors subsequent to their 1961 takeover of Standard-Triumph.

Correspondingly, the same lorry with a Leyland O.600 diesel became the A-60R; the R stood for raskas (heavy), meaning it had a stronger front axle. [49] The bus model names changed again in the same manner. For example, a forward control bus with the Leyland O.600 engine was called the VLB-60. [50]

The only contemporary heavy vehicle compression-ignition engines built in Britain of ...
