HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE...
Hypertension is the medical term used to describe high blood pressure, a condition that occurs when the pressure in the blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to the rest of the body is too high.


Dyna celebrates 40th birthday ...
With all-round predictions of another positive year ahead, it was apt that the first function attended by FleetWatch for 2005 was a celebration of success - the 40th birthday of the Toyota Dyna. 
Patrick O'Leary was there.


The Quick and the Dead ...
The Arrive Alive campaign was launched with much enthusiasm in early December but despite the efforts of hundreds of people driving the campaign, the death toll on our national roads over the last holiday period exceeded that of 2003 and is tantamount to a national disaster. FleetWatch's Paul Collings analyses the tragic statistics.

FleetWatch once again brings to our readers the annual post-December accident statistics. Analyse them and discuss the trends with your drivers.

Paying for Trucks ...
With 2005 expected to be an even better year
than 2004 for truck sales, FleetWatch starts the year off by including an in-depth article on
vehicle financing. It is written with the
operator in mind to explain the various
options and methods available - and what's
best for each situation.


Quick Guide to Financing Trucks ...
Some important questions to ask before deciding how best to pay for your trucks. 


The Road Ahead ...
Last year was a great year for the trucking industry. Truck sales reached all time highs and the volume of goods moved by road instead of rail increased substantially. So what does 2005 hold for the industry? FleetWatch asked players in the industry for their views and what stands out is the positive mood running throughout the industry. 


Technical Watch

Two-pedal power ...
If there's anything that will accelerate the move into electronic engine management systems for all trucks it's an accelerating acceptance of automated shift transmissions. In this article our technical correspondent Dave Scott looks at the trends. 


Vehicle sales ...
Year-to-date results remain outstanding reports Richard Proctor-Sims.
