Truckstar edition 2 - 2024

Digitalization is happening everywhere, so yes, also in transport. From tachograph to safety systems, and from multimedia screen to smart route planners. And now it's the mirrors' turn. Rear view mirrors that have been replaced by camera systems. Is that really an improvement, we wondered.

You will find all this and much more in issue 2 of Truckstar.
