Gold medal THE CASTROL Gold Medal of the Institute of the Motor Industry has been awarded to David Plastow, group managing director of RollsRoyce Motors Ltd and president of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, for "his outstanding advocacy in support of road transport in general and the British motor industry in particular."

.DAF profits VVIT-H a pre-tax profit of F1,50 million, resulting in a net profit, after tax provisions, of FL30 million, DAF Trucks had another good year in 1977, with three times their profit in 1976.
Seventy per cent of sales were made in the EEC countries, with the expanding markets of the Middle East and Africa taking the major portion of the remainder.
One voice THE Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders is to set up its own Energy Policy Committee. The aim of the new committee says the SMMT is "to enable the British motor industry to speak with one voice when energy policies are raised by "British and overseas governments."
The 10-man committee will undertake where necessary its own research, making use of existing SMMT resources.
Joining forces THE CHELTENHAM-based hydraulic tipping gear manufacturer, Telehoist, has joined forces with its Belgium distributor to form a new company — Telehoist Hum. blet NV. The new company will form a base for further market penetration in other EEC countries. Telehoist — a member of the Wilmot Breeden Group — expects to double its European sales turnover in 1978. Telehoist Humblet NV will be handling Telehoist's Load Luggers and tipping gear with associated spares, as well as marketing products complementary to Telehoist.
