Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Alan Fox (pictured), commercial operations director of Iveco Ford Truck, has been promoted to managing director. Nick Blachford returns from Iveco Ford North Europe in Denmark to become sales and marketing director.

Truckers talks

• Truckers, the network of five truckstops, is likely to be sold soon.

Supply stops

• Daimler-Benz has ceased supplying German-designed Mercedes trucks to the United States for distribution by its Freightliner subsidiary.

Spicy Strato

• At next week's IRTE show at Telford, Seddon Atkinson will display a 4x2 Strato tractive unit with a Perkins engine and, for the first time, a 10-speed

Spicer gearbox. It is one of 17 being supplied to Petrofina and there are no plans to make the box generally available.

Weight call

• The Freight Transport Association has repeated its call for maximum artic weights to go up to 44 tonnes by 1993. According to retiring PTA president Tony Stanton a 44-tonne limit would mean 9,000 fewer HGVs "resulting in annual savings of 480 million miles (772m/km) and 200 million litres of very expensive diesel fuel".

Sisu first

• Finnish truck builder Sisu is set to become the first European truck manufacturer to fit Cummins' CELECT 14-litre engine.
