Summer issue of Irish Van & Truck

The summer issue of our quarterly companion magazine, Irish Van & Truck, is now on sale, with a wide range of news and feature articles.

We review the Ford Tourneo Connect minibus and take a first look at Land Rover's new Defender Pickup. In addition, the launch of the new generation Iveco Daily series is covered.

A historical look at the 80 years of Volvo Truck business details the road from a 28hp 1.5-tonner to today's massive 660hp flagship model capable of hauling 200 tonnes.

We also have a full report in words and pictures from the recent Commercial Vehicle Show in Birmingham. Meanwhile back home, Trish Whelan reports on the progress of the Pure Plant Oil alternative fuel programme being piloted under the auspices of the German-Irish Chamber of Commerce. BB.
