Are you involved in construction? Then you can't afford to miss Commercial Motor's truckzone at
the SED show in Milton Keynes.
The SED show, billed as the national event for construction, runs from 18-20 May. This year visitors are in for a road transport treat with more than 25 truck, van and tipper bodybuilders showing off their wares. The truckzone started three years ago, and such has been the interest in the area from exhibitors and visitors alike that it has grown
to include all the top manufacturers engaged in the construction sector. If you are involved in construction in any way then Milton Keynes is the place to be in the third week of May. Entry is free, but to pre-register your ticket and avoid the queues log on to www.sed.co.uk and follow the simple instructions on screen.
SED is an outdoor working exhibition where visitors can see products being put through their paces. In the truckzone you'll be able to see the latest 4x4s from Ford, Mitsubishi, Nissan and Santana being given a thorough work out, while Commercial Motor will also be hosting a "Tipper Live!" demonstration area where exhibitors in the zone will have the opportunity to show the crowds what their products can do. CM editor-in-chief Brian Weatherley will be your commentator. Your chance to race
Visitor's to CM's stand on day one of the show will also be able to take part in the Racing Challenge, a motor racing machine where you can pit your driving skills against the machine. The fastest lap will win some Ferrari goodies, courtesy of Iveco Trucks. We'll also be running a competition throughout the three days to win an iPod, as well as giving out other goodies. A glance at the truckzone exhibitor list will confirm that all the top companies in the sector will be there; look out for a trade show debut of the Scania R-Series, a new body from Thompson and the construction show debut of the latest Isuzu Rodeo 4x4 pickup. Watch this space for further details on these and all the products on display at SED over the coming weeks. • Opening times and travel SED 2004 will be held on 18-20 May at Fen Farm, Wayendon, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, UK Opening Times 18 May: 9.00am-5.30pm 19 May: 9.00am-5.30pm 20 May: 9.00am-4.30pm The site is easily accessible by:
