On that note, allow me to introduce myself as the new deputy editor of Truck & Fleet ME. Stian Overdahl, the former acting editor, certainly leaves some big shoes to fill, but I’m confident that with the support of this magazine’s readership and the wider industry, Truck & Fleet ME will continue to deliver quality content on issues that matter.
I’m always eager to receive feedback and hear from you regarding topics you’d like to see covered in the magazine, so feel free to drop me a mail anytime. Happy reading!
