Commercial Motor celebrated its brand-new look and bumper edition yesterday on its stand (4G35).
The UK’s best-selling weekly truck magazine for the past 114 years has been redesigned. In addition to a fresh new look, the “industry bible” as it’s known by many of its loyal readers, gets a host of new feature series, all designed to help with purchasing decisions.
The operations section has been boosted too, meaning more stories about the trucks that its loyal readers buy, sell and operate. All the old favourites, including road tests, head-to-heads and industry product/legal news remain, and CM is still the only print title with 1,000s of quality used trucks and trailers for sale every week.
To celebrate the redesign, the 25 April edition was a bumper issue, with a huge editorial section. There were also more than 150 pages of classified adverts, which is the largest number of used trucks featured in the back of the magazine for decades.
“The world celebrated Record Store Day earlier this month,” said CM editor Will Shiers. “Despite CDs, MP3s, Spotify and various other ways of listening to music these days, vinyl is undergoing a huge resurgence. Like vinyl, print is also doing incredibly well, and this copy of CM is proof that we are embracing it.”
