• The first Commercial Motor of the New Year includes a major new feature in which we review the roadtests of the part twelve months and pick our favourites in each class, from carderived vans to 38-tonne tractive units. With 65 comprehensive roadtests completed in the past year alone, we have much more roadtesting experience than any other CV magazine. In our next issue, January 10, our testers stick their necks out and make their choices.
• We begin our 1987 roadtesting programme right at the top of the power scale, with Europe's most powerful production tractive unit — the Mercedes-Benz 1644. We tell you exactly what such massive power and torque as the 1644's can do for journey times and average fuel consumption, and we discover some unexpected tricks from its electronicallycontrolled ZF gearbox.
