• During the next 10 weeks, every issue of CM will contain a chapter of the Commercial Motor Handbook, published in association with Leyland Daf. The first chapter is an up-to-date guide to the new drivers' hours regulations, and among the topics covered in other chapters are tachograph centres, lorry parks and weighbridges. The complete handbook will be equally at home in a cab or on a transport manager's desk and is sure to be much in demand, so make sure you don't miss a chapter!
• In an issue that is full to bursting point, we report from Europe's biggest CV show, Frankfurt. We also have news from three events taking place during the weekend. At MIRA, the Brewery Transport Advisory Committee and the Institute of Road Transport Engineers organise the biggest-yet Gordon Goddard fuel economy trials. We report on the winners and the new vehicles which are there at Stratford-on-Avon, FTA runs its first bodybuilding exhibition, in conjunction with the Freight '87 conference. • Our roadtest is another exclusive — the first report anywhere of the Dennis Javelin coach, and that means the first of Cummins' latest engine, the C Series. What a surprising power unit it turns out to be.
• We also report from Sweden on this year's UICR International Driver Championship for truck and bus drivers, which is being held at Scania's headquarters in Sodertalje.
