GOLD FROM THE SHALE
The world is hungry. Greedy to get energy, the cheaper the better. To make vehicles and machines go round. As alternative fuels are still on low revs, people continue to penetrate the insides of the earth to find remedy for the hunger. In Jordan German trucks are on duty when specialists squeeze the liquid gold out of layers of oil shale, deep down below the desert sand - a few kms away from the truck drivers providing the land with real food!

THE XY-FACTOR
Well, political correctness tells us, that there is no difference between men and women. But life tells us another story, every day. But what makes the difference between the genders? A place to get deeper into the most complicated matter is - the Sahara desert. When women struggle their way through dunes and stones and sandstorms. The Rallye Aicha des Gazelles is a very special event, designed for women only!

BEAUTIES ON DUTY
There is a vibrating scene of airbrush trucks in the nordic countries. Some of the finest masterpieces displayed on truckfests or other high masses of the pimp-my-truck buddies are coming from Finland, Sweden or Norway. We found three new examples of the top-league in winterly Finland. See the fascinating Tomb Raider, Zeus and Flaming Star. Two of them Scanias, as most of their kind, one a Mercedes Actros

THE COOL GANG
Harsh road conditions and frosty temperatures far below the freezing point are not a must for everybody. The cooler the better - this is the only truth for a group of specialized journalists which is heading north every winter. The Arctic Test has something like a tradition, since more than two decades the knights of ice are crossing the Arctic Circle in order to find out more about the winter qualities of vans, trucks or buses.

OUTSIDE THE HABITAT
If one wouldn't know it better we could suppose bonneted trucks are extinct. You may find a few of them somewhere in exotic habitats (like the USA or Far East), but in central Europe trucks with a nose belong to a rare species. Talking about the old times always means recalling the legendary Mercedes- or MAN-trucks with the distinct short nose. Now the legend is back - Mercedes again offers a bonneted truck.

ANARCHY ON THE ROADS
If you believe that karma and rebirth exist you might feel comfortable on Indias roads. Otherwise it's more likely to think about hell on earth when you encounter the asphalt jungle of the huge country. Read about a rotten Police truck or heavy loads >100 tons pulled by 10-wheelers with 280 hp only. And learn why MAN now is confident to face a better future in Britanny's former colony.

ETHIOPIA
Africa has been named the lost continent. But african life is vibrant, despite many nations are facing bundles of problems, often triggered by ethnic conflicts. For example Ethiopia, a community with almost 80 different ethnies, each of them with an own language - what makes living together somehow complicated. But many of the truck drivers have a better-than-average- life, even if they don't admit.

SCANIA FOREVER
Scania drivers are a hardcore species. If truck drivers love their truck, they seem to love their working tool even more, and for most of them it's an everlasting love. Regardless that a V8-engine sees to be a bit outdated or that other makes offer spacier cabs for those guys who are called 'captains of the highway' in Germany.
