• The recently merged Kalmar and Sisu Terminal Systems are now operating as Kalmar. The firm will exhibit a Kalmar Magnum ET-120 trailer-handling tractor at the IRTE Show in May.

• Volkswagen is to extend its free maintenance offer on all LT panel vans and chassis-cabs until the end of June. All LTs delivered before then will have two years (or 60,000 miles) of free servicing, maintenance and emergency assistance.

• The Atego will not be appearing at TipCon this week, as we stated in last week's TipCon preview; our apologies to Mercedes-Benz. Instead it will make its UK debut at the IRTE Show in Telford on 1 3-1 5 May.
