Quick report on what to expect in your attending the CV show over the next couple of days.
First its busy, very busy The themes of the show this year seem less on new models or major launches, but rather on āGreenā issues and surprisingly driver training (CPC).
It seems at times almost everyone will be offering driver CPC training, from manufacturers to operators. and judging by the mass of people at the DSA/VOSA stand dedicated to the drivers CPC it is a subject high up in drivers and operators minds.
Everywhere you look at the show the exhibitors are pushing their " Green" credentials, electric, bio fueled and Hybrid vehicles abound.
With the economic slowdown forecast it would be fair to say the mood at the show is hardly upbeat, but despondancy hasnt set in either. ISUZU new range of midweight rigids are certainly attracting a lot of interest as is the HINO stand. Possibly because lead times for these manufacturers are a lot less than the European truckmakers and buyers who need a truck are looking further than their traditional suppliers.
I must say it was āOKā, not as good as previous shows.
I could not for the life of me find you trucknet people? Who were u sharing with?
As Rikki said alot of green and driver cpc issues covered, not alot of Major launches.
I must say I have never seen a Hino close up, sat in one today, impressed by it, I think a couple of years and they will catch up with the likes of Scania, Volvo and MAN.
Enjoy the show, those that go, and take a packed lunch lol! ! ! !
Am bloody shattered now, trying to get the whole lot in one day is not a good idea!

Just getting sorted to set off for 7:30 to get there in plenty of time. I will see you at 12 on the Trucknet stand. I am wearing a white shirt and jeans, so you should not be able to miss me with all the āsuitsā around the place.
Not a bad show,i came out Ā£401 lighter though,iāve just ordered one of those VDO Dayton sat navās purpose built for truckās with low bridgeās,weight limitās and a tv built in.
Should be with me in a fortnight,i hope it lives upto the bumpf!
