Commercial Vehicle Show 2012, Birmingham

Today for the first time I visited a commercial vehicle show, Birmingham Commercial Vehicle Show 2012. Similar to passenger vehicle show, they were many new technologies and new vehicles, however I don’t have adequate knowledge to compare or judge the vehicles like I do it with passenger vehicles.

Commercial vehicles are totally different, even their marketing is different. People never buy a commercial vehicle because they want one, they buy it because they need one! This is the difference between passenger vehicle and commercial vehicles, wants and needs!

So, before the show finishes I highly suggest you to visit it. Because, you will see the new gorgeous Mercedes-Benz Actros, E-Vito (Electric powered), Unimog. Also, Citroën has a great show and one of the best stand in CV Show! You should see it. Ford revealed the new Tourneo and Transit, also they have a 3.2-lt diesel Ranger pick-up. Peugeot also features an electric vehicle. MAN features only two tow trucks but you can see how a diesel engine looks like from inside. Lastly, you can play a remote control LGV model and try to park in reverse! And there are lots of many industrial products that I am not interested at all. And some models!

Still, worth a visit :) It will be open until Thursday from 08:30 to 17:30

How to Camp with A Mercedes-Benz Actros Truck?

During this week’s interview with Rob Halloway, he mentioned about his camping trip with an Actros truck. For people who don’t know anything about Actros, I would like to give a brief information. Actros is the top of the range from the Mercedes-Benz Truck, it features very high powered diesel engines with enormous amount of torque. The one Rob drove had 600PS and more than 2000nm torque, which means it is nearly ten times more powerful than a normal family hatchback!
Anyway, these trucks are designed for long journeys and offer state-of-art comfort for driving and sleeping. Double cab models offer two beds in the back of the cab, where Rob slept during his camping. Also, these trucks have automatic gearbox and lots of electronic features similar to passenger cars. Theoretically they are easy to drive but in practice, you need lots of experience!
