Duncan1800I like lots of different trucks, but I'm based in the USA which limits me somewhat. I do agree about the need for consistency among truck articles and will do what I can to help fix it.

Fabio^TalkDefinitely agree, there needs to be a more uniform article structure on trucks and i think a project may accomplish this.
G®iffen(Semi-participating. Basics om new European models, truck purposes, finding suitable pictures, translating from Scandinavian + eventually German texts)
HasannurOK, I'm interested and willing to help
Tepoo(I'll probably be semi-participant like G®iffen but I definitely agree there should be better consistency amongst lorry related articles. Interested about truck manufacturers from Northern Europe and on more general view keeping articles well formed.)
