Expert Commercial Vehicle Reviews
Driven: the EFL 10T HVAnd now for a truck test with a difference! What’s it like to drive a seriously heavy-duty forklift? We experienced the EFL 10T HV during the IFOY Test Days in Dortmund, Germany.
Driven (sort of): the UD 6TW12And now for something completely different! Normally, our truck reviews begin with us firmly planted behind the wheel. Not this time. The UD 6TW12, a 1960s workhorse, is long retired – and, unfortunately, no one was about to hand us the keys. Instead, we admired it at the UD Experience Centre in Japan and found ourselves wondering: what would it have been like to drive one of Japan’s earliest heavy-duty trucks?

Driven: 2024 MAN TGS
And now for something completely different! We go for a spin in an MAN TGS. But not just any TGS; it’s a highly customised truck…
Driven: Iveco Daily 35-150
Back in 1978, the very first Iveco Daily was first launched. Since then, well over three million of these commercial vehicles have hit the roads in 110 countries. Why is the vehicle so successful? We took one – a van with a capacity of 9m3 – for a spin in Johannesburg to find out.
Driven: The eActros 600
Mercedes-Benz Trucks has just bagged the most sought-after award in the world of trucking: the 2025 International Truck of the Year is none other than the battery-electric Mercedes-Benz eActros 600. Why did it win? We took it for a spin to find out.
Driven: UD Croner PKE8E
UD Trucks is doing a pretty good job when it comes to introducing “greener” vehicles. Back in May 2022, it introduced Euro 5 Quester and Croner trucks – and they’re a big success. However, we had the opportunity to take a Euro 3 Croner for a spin while visiting UD Trucks in Japan. The truck is still sold in South Africa – but is it worth consideration? Or is it the dinosaur of trucks?
Driven: Iveco eMoovy
What happens when an Italian marries a South Korean and the couple has a baby? The eMoovy – the child of Iveco and Hyundai – is born. We drove the vehicle – which, we reckon, has the cutest name around – at the 2024 IAA Transportation in Hannover earlier this month.
Driven: the MAN hTGX
In recent years, battery-electric trucks have hit the headlines. But now a new(ish) technology is coming to the fore: trucks with internal combustion engines that are powered by hydrogen. We hopped behind the wheel of the MAN hTGX – the first such truck to enter production – to find out what all the fuss is about.
Driven: the Iveco S-eWay BEV
South Africans are familiar with the Iveco S-Way; there are plenty of them trawling our roads. But now, the Italian truck maker has launched an electric version of this truck. What’s it like? We jetted across to Ulm, Germany, to find out.
Driven: The DAF XF H2 Concept Truck
DAF’s XF H2 concept truck hit the headlines when it won the 2022 Truck Innovation Award. But what’s it like to drive?
Driven: the Volvo VNL
What’s it like to drive an enormous Class 8 American truck? We jetted over to Dublin, Virginia, to find out.
Driven: DAF CF 430 FTT
The entry-level DAF CF is incredibly well-priced, but is far from basic. We hit the road in the 430 FTT model and it was a pleasure to drive. Here’s why it left such a marked impression.
