TUST as exports in the first month of 1959 set the trend for a good year, so may the shipment of 12,613 commercial vehicles-1,991 more than 12 months earlier—prove a significant augury. Output of 35,183 vehicles in January represented a continuation of the high volume of production attained in the
previous four months, and an improvement upon the figure for the first month of 1959 of 8,862.
Details of output and exports appear in the accompanying tables.
MORE LIGHTS WANTED ON BIG LORRIES
THE display of more lights on large lorries was advocated by Mr. W. Proudfoot, M.P. for Cleveland, at the annual dinner of the Tees-side Sub-area of the Road Haulage Association at Redcar last week.
He said that, in the United States, lights were displayed along the sides'of vehicles as well as at both ends. He looked forward to the day when legislation was passed in this country to increase the number of lights carried by lorries.
Mr. Proudfoot also said that there were not sufficient refrigerated lorries in Britain. There was a promising future for people engaged in this branch of haulage, he stated.
