Replacing your fleet—or just dreaming about it : whichever it is, CM's new special, Commercial Vehicles on the British Market, may be considered essential equipment.
Each year CM compiles guides to British and foreign commercial vehicles on sale in this country. Our aim is to help buyers of goods and passenger vehicles. This publication is a reprint of those guides ; and we include a six-page directory to UK bodybuilders.
Price : 75p to personal callers at the Trade Counter, Paris Garden, Dorset House, Stamford Street, Southwark SE1 9LU ; or 75p plus 20p post and packing, enclosing cheque or postal order, using form below and made out to IPC Business Press (Sales and Distribution) Ltd, 40 Bowling Green Lane, London EC1R ONE.
Another CM publication of great value to operators is the CM Tables of Operating Costs 1975, which costs 65p net at the trade counter, or 85p post free from the postal address given on the form below. This sets out the standing and running costs, and recommended charges, for goods vehicles from 5cwt to 22-ton loads, buses from 12 to 86 seats, coaches from 12 to 57 seats and a selected range of fleet cars.
To enable operators to build their own costs on the basis of the Tables, the supporting data — eg fuel cost per gallon, mpg and tyre costs — are set out in each table.
Also still available is the CM Vehicle Replacement Guide which costs 70p post free. It contains detailed tables showing the ideal replacement period for a range of trucks from 3 tons to 22 tons payload capacity, and the annual cost " penalty " for replacing earlier or later than the due date.
