When we started thinking about the design of the ste, we wanted to be sure it played to the strengths of Commercial Motor and the rest of the RBI Road Transport Group.
One of CMs biggest assets is its vast knowledge about trucks and vans. It has published a road test almost every week for the past 60 years or so: substantial, independent reviews with realistic assessments of fuel consumption.
That knowledge is hard-won and means our technical journalists can give real opinions on the vehicles they are writing about.
Roadtransport.com's 'road tests' section starts with a search page. Enter the type of vehicle you are looking at (truck or van), the make and model. Alternatively, you can search for 'all' trucks or vans, or all models from a particular manufacturer.
A list of vehicles which meet your criteria will appear.
Click on the vehicle you are interested in in this case, the Oaf CF85 -and you go to that vehicle's 'landing page'.
At the top of the page is the name of the vehicle range and its production dates, followed by a button which indicates the highest level of Euro emissions classification available for the range in this case, Euro-4.
Next, there is an outline description of the Oaf, describing and assessing the types of vehicles available in the range. This section shares much of its content with Clvts recently-published Buyer's Guide, with one important difference: Roadtransport.com also covers out-ofproduction vehicles.
The page includes basic specifications for the chassis, engine and transmission, with available power and torque ratings. There is a list of 'pros and cons' for each.
There are also links to internal pages and external sites. In this case: • Links to some of the most appropriate Oaf-related news stories, with a summary of each story • A link to Daf's own website • Links to related blog postings in this case, the Truck & Van Blog We invite visitors to the site to rate the vehicle they are interested in on a scale from 1 to 10. You need to register to do this, simply to prevent people from voting more than once for the same vehicle.
You can also send in your own reviews and pictures of the vehicle via this e-mail link for posting on the Truck & Van blog.
The more feedback and contributions we get, the more useful this page (and the rest of the site) will be. Just send an e-mail to editor@roadtransport.com Another set of links on the page is headed 'buy & sell'.This is a list of classified ads for the relevant vehicle. Click on a description, and you go straight to the advertisement.
There's more on the way. We will be adding links to vehicle launches, reviews of similar and competing vehicles, and much more.
