The November issue of DIESELtalk magazine is available for download.
October was an incredibly busy time for the transport industry, as the DIESELtalk team attended four industry specific conferences, including the most industry specific of them all, the annual Road Transport Forum conference held at ASB Stadium, Baypark, Mount Maunganui. A wrap up of the Forum conference can be found on pages six and seven of this issue.
