Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

I’m writing this from the media centre of Europe’s largest truck show – and it’s buzzing. This is without a doubt the most significant show for a long time, and the world’s truck press have turned out in their droves. Why’s it such a big deal? Because of Euro-6. In order to tackle these tough emissions regulations most of Europe’s truck makers have redesigned their vehicles, meaning there are more new trucks than ever before.

But while I’m surrounded by shiny new metal, as you’ve probably already guessed from the cover, this issue of CM is also celebrating the past. This week we are launching our digital archives – 107 years of CM online – and we’re inviting you to take a look. Between now and the end of October every reader is welcome to explore the archive and search for their favourite trucks, hauliers and industry issues free of charge. We’ve scanned more than 400,000 pages of editorial and advertisements, and then used an automatic text recognition process to present the text.

The auto system isn’t perfect, and you’ll no doubt find a few gremlins here and there. So if you spot any glitches, please hit the “noticed an error?” button and report the issue.

The CM Archive has been a mammoth project, and one I’ve loved being involved with. I’ve already wasted several days of my life browsing the archive (much to my wife’s disapproval).

Hopefully you’ll get as much out of it as I have, but without the grief from your other half!
