Driven: the Renault Master
The world premiere of the all-new Renault Master has just taken place at the Solutrans exhibition in Lyon, France. We were there for the big reveal, and we also drove prototype versions of the van prior to its launch, where we discovered that the new Master is really something special.
Driven: the Volta Zero
The future of the Volta Zero, the world’s first purpose-built all-electric 16-tonne vehicle designed for urban logistics, hangs in the balance. But we got lucky! We went for a spin in one of these incredibly futuristic trucks before the company’s shock announcement that it had filed for bankruptcy.
Driven: Neoplan Tourliner L
After a four-year break, Busworld – the largest and most important international bus show – opens its doors again in Brussels in October. MAN Truck & Bus invited us to Nuremberg, Germany, for a sneak preview of its stand. While there, we took a spin in four different bus, coach and van models. The first was in the Neoplan Tourliner L P22-1252, M-NP 2424.
Driven: Mercedes-Benz GenH2 Truck
We all know that trucks have to become “greener”. One of the preferred options for long-haul trucking is a fuel cell truck. But what’s it like to drive? We took a ride in a fully loaded 40-tonne prototype GenH2 Truck while in Germany.
Driven: the UD Croner PKE 250
The latest UD Croner comes with a Euro 5 engine, meaning it smiles on the environment. But is there more to this truck than its green credentials?
Driven: Mercedes-Benz eActros 300
Electric trucks are popping up everywhere! One of the latest to join the ever-increasing fray is the Mercedes-Benz eActros 300. What’s it like to drive? We hopped behind the wheel to find out.
Driven: Iveco eDaily
eMobility is the name of the game in the automotive industry – with anything and everything from scooters to long-haul trucks and buses going down electric avenue. Vans are especially suited to eMobility – since they often don’t cover vast distances. Recently, we got to drive the Iveco eDaily in Italy.
Driven: Raymond 8910
And now for something completely different! Typically, we road test trucks. Now we are indeed reporting on a truck test. But this is Something Completely Different. For the first time, we have tested a pallet truck!
Driven: the MAN eTruck
Amidst much pomp and ceremony, MAN first showed the world its eTruck last year at the IAA Transportation fair in Germany. Was all the hype merited? We took a prototype for a spin to see.
Driven: the Fuso eCanter
The Fuso eCanter has been trialled here in South Africa – and we hope to see it being sold here one day. In advance of this, we visited one of the factories that builds the eCanter – and took it for a quick spin.
Driven: the UD Quester GWE 460
The UD Quester was one of the first trucks to be available with a Euro 5 powertrain in South Africa. What else makes this truck special? We took it for a spin to find out.
