Heavy Trucks - One Safety SOP To Rule Them All?

Heavy Trucks - One Safety SOP To Rule Them All?

The rising cases of road accidents involving heavy trucks are becoming more alarming lately. Daniel Fernandez from dsf.my weighs in on the causes behind these accidents, as well as give some suggestions on ways we can combat this problem. This includes applying the standard of safety used by fuel tankers for all heavy vehicles.

In between that serious discussion, we talk about the new Honda e:N1 and why this might be the long awaited EV that will be snapped up by fans of Honda, or those who are looking for an EV specifically from Japanese manufacturers. Daniel also shares some of the cars that will be making their way here, including a fancy looking EV from GAC called the Aion Hyptec HT, as well as newcomers in the form of Deepal, with their G318 off-road SUV, and Farizon Auto with their SuperVAN.

Last but not least, we also look at the used car market and found used Lamborghini Gallardos that are available at 20% of their original price. Are they worth a plunge? Only if you’re able to pay for its maintenance, according to Daniel!
