It is now on the Makita UK webpage so I guess it is now available in the UK as well.

 

They are doing two models
DUC256 - 3/8th chain on a 10" bar
DUC306 - 3/8th chain on a 12" bar
I don't know if there is any difference in power between the two. I am guessing it is just different bar lengths.

It would be good to know what it is comparable to in a petrol top handle saw: 25cc, 30cc or 36cc and how it stacks up under load compared to a petrol saw for torque .

 

The Dolmar version is called the AS4030

I would be very interested in how you get a long with it...

My Local builders merchant is getting the Makita: 
DUC256 - 3/8th chain on a 10" bar
DUC306 - 3/8th chain on a 12" bar
In at the end of the week.... Not sure I could live with a blue Chainsaw? I would much prefer a Dolmar  AS4030Z in orange?

A shout out to Andrew 'Shavey'

Are you doing the new Dolmar AS4030z 36v Top Handle Chainsaw (The 36v is made up from 2x 18v)  -  (The AS4030z is body, 14” Bar & 3/8” Chain,  without batteries and charger).

I watched this youtube video of it against the Husky 36v and it was slightly quicker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p7r9iAMn5g
