On www.trucksplanet.com i found these photo’s of the big Ford Transit van that is still to come. We already saw the smaller version but this is the American version of the big one.

New Renault on the road?

One of the Iepieleaks Spies spotted this truck last week in France, in the Le Mans area. He didn’t have a clou what is was but it could be a Renault. The cab looks very similar than the Volvo cab, but details are different. Look at the headlights, typical Renault. Good work anonimus spie! And…Continue Reading

Comming soon, the new DAF

DAF presented the Euro6 engines on the BedrijfsautoRAI in Amsterdam but nobody knows what that means for the design of the cab. This is an old photo of the new DAF truck.

MAN Euro6 range complete

And now i found even more photo’s of the next MAN generation. Not only the big TGX, but also the smaller TGM and TGL trucks. The Bussing lion has a new place in the chrome ornament on the upper grille. Personal i think the chrome ‘moustage’ is a bit overdone for the small TGL and…Continue Reading
