IN CM NEXT WEEK we start a series of three very special issues packed with information from the first NEC Motor Show.
We will once again be showing readers how to get to the Show and then taking an early look at new models from a number of manufacturers.
We will be previewing the bus and coach section and searching out the latest on the municipal stands. Operators with fleet car responsibilities will be able to assess the development in this field and engineers are invited to get under the bonnet with Graham Montgomerie to preview the power units.
How do the manufacturers feel about NEC? Are they enthusiastic? Should visitors be enthusiastic? Is there apprehension or excitement about the move from Earls Court? We will be reporting the result of our phone round survey, but we will also be pleased to hear from readers on our answering service.
Next week we will be revealing details of our new long-distance road test route. It goes further and tells us more. And our latest development in coach testing is to take passengers over the route. We report our findings and passenger reactions on the first live road test with a Volvo B58 Van Hool coach.
