Dogs in transit

Honda has developed a pet-friendly vehicle specially for dog lovers that is aimed at the US market. The utility vehicle comes complete with a well-padded dog bed in the rear, as well as a built-in water bowl and a fan to provide cooling on hot days. In addition, smaller, older or otherwise less mobile dogs benefit from a ramp that allows them to climb in more easily. The car has been developed specifically for this niche US market, which Honda believes is as yet untapped.

    Improved surface quality and improved machine design are key trends in the asphalt paving sector, Mike Woof reports There is a big difference in asphalt paving techniques in North America and Europe. In North America, the need to construct long stretches of highway quickly resulted in wide pavers offering high throughput capacity, with compaction equipment then being used to achieve the required density of the various courses. In Europe's highway construction projects, distances tend to be shorter and contr
