Welcome to another jam packed edition of Truck & Driver, with a rich variety of content from fleet flagships, retro nostalgia and in-depth real world road tests to great events and all your favourite regulars.
Editor’s Choice kicks things off with a look as some unusual Iveco S-Ways, while our cover feature is Safepac’s luxuriously appointed Renault Range-T High. Ed at Large Dougie spends a week behind the wheel of Volvo’s super economy FH 460 Turbo Compound I-Save with Fuel Package while Editor Andy gets to sample the latest in electric tech courtesy of the Mercedes-Benz eActros. The O’Donovan classic collection is something you won’t want to miss! Elsewhere we’ve got fantastic updates from Paul and Joe in Team T&D, Peter Davies shines a light on iconic tanker haulier Suttons and there’s all the usual regulars including our truck photographer showcase.
