Mergers, amalgamations and joint ventures have meant that the number of pan-European truck manufacturers can now almost be counted on the fingers of one hand. Modern legislation governing gross weights, emissions and operations, also mean that many of today's trucks are almost uniform.

British and European Trucks of 1980's takes a look behind the scenes of some of the major players of the era, their successes and failures.
