この号では

The new August issue of T&D is here already! Make yourself comfortable because we’ve got another 100 pages packed with tremendous trucks, from new to old, original to customised. There really is a bit of everything packed into this one and we hope you enjoy reading it. As always, here’s a full run-down of what we’ve got in store for you

Editor’s Choice: Billy Swain’s Dutch-influenced Scania R520 V8 Highline not only looks the part, but he’s got a great story to tell too

Hauling heavy plant and machinery on road and off calls for the toughest of trucks, and M&J Plant of South Wales are delighted with their 150 tonne double-drive Volvo FH16 750

The top-spec 570hp Iveco S-Way has been building a cult following among hauliers during 2021 and Rogers Transport has been impressed with the performance of their first one. We get the low-down from boss Simon on how the truck has bedded in

Practicality is the name of the game for Baileys Horse Feeds who have just put this new Daf CF 340 26-tonner on the road, complete with Moffett Mounty Forklift

Scania 143s are often highly customised, but this rare 420hp H chassis model from the Republic of Ireland is pretty much exactly the same as how it left the factory back in the ‘90s – and it’s still hard at work!

MacRitchie Highland Distribution went for a top of the range Renault Range-T High 520 tractor unit and it’s impressed both boss Donald and driver Lee so far

It’s the final part of the excellent Time Machine feature by Peter Davies, as we look back over the period from 2015-19. It’s not that long ago in years, but in some ways it feels like a lifetime ago
