The report describes European commercial vehicle technology in 1989. Trucks made by European manufacturers determine the state of the art. Development is dictated largely by the demand for maximum environmental compatibility, active safety and economic efficiency. Bodies are becoming increasingly specialized, as trucks have to fulfill a wide variety of tasks in the highly disparate economy. Electronics is becoming increasingly important in driveline management, in safety-related components, for increasing comfort and for information and communication among all those involved in transport. But the truck is not becoming merely a showcase for gadgets; its efficiency is increasing thanks to technological advances.
