Expert Commercial Vehicle Reviews
Driven: the Isuzu FXZ 26-360The extra-heavy commercial sector isn’t necessarily associated with Japanese brands in South Africa (although it must be said that UD did have a pretty good 2023, notching up an impressive 1,655 extra-heavy sales). All the Japanese companies do, however, offer trucks in this super competitive sector of the market. Are they any good? We drove the Isuzu FXZ to find out.

Driven: the Hyundai XCIENT Fuel Cell
Electric trucks are making the headlines right now – but fuel cell trucks could represent a better option for long distances. Bearing this in mind, we took a drive in the world’s first fuel cell truck, the Hyundai XCIENT.
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.
