Truckstar edition 5 - 2023

While the CBR always assumed that you had to hold the steering wheel with both hands, thanks to the Dynamic Steering system, Jeroen managed to change the CBR's mind via the right hand. From now on, he can drive a truck with only one healthy arm, provided it is equipped with the aforementioned system. Thanks to this modern tool, the CBR adjusts its assessment criteria. In the meantime, everything at the port of Rotterdam remains the same. Long waiting times are the rule rather than the exception. Instead of increasing capacity, they came up with the following. If you want help at busy times, you will pay a surcharge. How Dutch do you want it!

However, in the quiet and now even quieter north, time has not stood still. The first hydrogen-powered truck runs there at Transport Groep Noord in RMO transport, and we went to the farm with Anton Vos. Also completely up-to-date is Overdie's new LHV truck, which now transports old metals to be recycled even more efficiently. In addition to these clean and economical trucks, we would almost forget that economical driving was not such an issue in 1980. Take the Bedford moving van with mirror box, a huge wind catcher, but one with plenty of loading space. We look back on that time with Rinus de Graaf.

You will find all this and much more in Truckstar number 5. Free home delivery within the Netherlands.
