• Want to get the lowdown on the latest fleet tractor contender to hit the UK—but you somehow can't quite find the time to organise a demonstrator?
If the truck in question is the new Mercedes Axor then stop worrying. You can now "raadtest" It from the comfort of your awn armchair with the latest Commercial Motor/Mercedes-Benz Axor video roadtest.
Starting in this week's CM we're running a five-week promotion which allows readers to send off for a free video roadtest of Merc's new fleet contender.
Available as either a VHS cassette. or
DVD, the Azar video roadtest is hosted by TV and radio presenter Chris Coffey and features a spec-check and technical 'walk-around" with CM editor Brian Weatherley, together with driving impressions of both the 4x2 and 6x2 Axor by Truck editor Andy Salter.
The 11-minute video also includes a conversation with Mercedes-Benz's truck sales and marketing director John Baker who explains how Mercedes will be selling the Axon to UK fleet operators.
To get a free copy of the video simply collect two different tokens from any two of the five promoted copies of CM avail
able between 28 February and 28 March, send them off with the coupon inside each issue and we'll send you a copy of the Axor video roadtest absolutely free.
What's more, everyone applying for a free roadtest will be entered in a prize draw with 10 DVD players and 100 pocket radios to be won (see page 44 for details).
• CM has already produced legal information audio tapes, but this is the first time we've produced a video roadtest with a vehicle manufacturer.
The Axor video test will also be shown regularly on Mercedes-Benz's stand at the forthcoming NEC CV Show.
