• • • THE Cologne Commercial Motor .1 Exhibition, which is being held between May 20th and 31st, is one of exceptional interest and the most important purely commercial vehicle show that has been held on the Continent for
many years. Slightly over 300 firms have entered, of which number between 50 and 60 are actual manufacturers and about 250 are accessory and tyre manufacturers, coaehbuilders, etc., which proves that the trade is taking quite an active interest.
It is with great interest that we note that. Karrier Motors, Ltd., of Huddersfield, has a stand there and that England is not to go entirely without representation, as is,' alas, so often the case. There is 'also, of course, the possibility that British products are being shown on the stands of local agents. Italy is represented by the well-known and popular Lancia, and France by Itenatilt and Citrot,n. The sole Belgian exhibit is the Minerva, shown by the widely known Antwerp firm of that name. As one might expect, America is strongly in the field, and in addition to Ford motors, there are exhibits both by General Motors and by the Studebaker Co. Even Austria has a representative in the Oestro-Automobilfabrik, which manufactures the Austro-Fiat chassis— altogether a very representative collection when one reflects that the show is limited purely to commercial vehicles of 1-ton capacity and over. One might also mention in passing' that of the above-mentioned foreign exhibitors three now have assemly, works in Germany, i.e., the Ford Co. and General Motors, who both have factories in Berlin, and the Citroen company, which Ims a works in Cologne..
In addition to the foreigners, there is a very comprehensive exhibition of German vehicles. One can, in fact, say that no firm of note is missing. It is still rather early to' ascertain what the actual exhibits are, but there seems little doubt that, so far as the German firms are concerned, there is not very much variation from the models that were shown at Berlin last autumn.
One notes with +interest that the Opel firm, by the introduction of their mass-production 1-tonner, seems now to be getting on equal terms with the American competitors who formerly dominated this class of vehicle here in Germany, and it will be interesting to -note if any other German manufacturers have entered this class.
Whether Karriers are showing their six-wheeler is not known, but this type is represented from the German side by Krupp and Bussing. It is interesting to note that although the Germans were 'much' earlier in the field in this class, it is now much more popular in England than in the laud of its origin.
