Forget road rage and laugh at the signs of our times

How many times have you seen a road sign and either laughed or cried? Laughed because it was incredibly unusual, funny or downright mischievous? Cried because you had previously followed its advice and it led you nowhere near where you wanted to go? Take pity on the poor sign developers. They often have to come up with a single image to visually show you what dangers or surprises might lay ahead, be they a bad-tempered moose that bashes up stopped cars or the dangers of sheep falling off cliffs onto roads.

    January 6, 2017
    Perkins will showcase a complete line-up of Stage IV/Tier 4 Final engine solutions at Bauma, ahead of the new legislation next year. The four cylinder 854F-E34TA will demonstrate much of the technology on offer, as it uses Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) with an exhaust additive, plus a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC). Both Perkins’ 3.4 and 4.4-litre engine lines make do without a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), though the larger 7 litre will use a DPF as well.
