Fuel was supplied from a single tank mounted in a central position. An auto-cutoff system was integrated to prevent overfilling of the tank; several other warning systems, such as for the radiator header tank fluid level, were also present. A total of four GEC WT421 traction motors, each rated for 157 hp of continuous power at 480 rpm, delivered power to the wheels via a 15/66 reduction gear. All four motors could be driven by a single engine, if desired by the driver. The motor armatures were highly balanced to reduce vibration levels; further features included for operational convenience and safety were a relay-based automatic wheelslip detection system, which reduced power without driver intervention, and an automated fire-suppression system that discharged bottled carbon dioxide into the applicable engine bay if excessive temperatures were detected.
