During the last decade and a half, we have been seeing a spurt in the production of goods and trade within and across countries. High growth and better income has propelled higher consumption. Along with the increase in trade, there has been increase in transportation of goods. Container depots, storage facilities and cargo carriers have increased in number. Road infrastructure too has multiplied. All these have contributed to an increase in road transport which is the primary mode of transport of goods. The automobile manufacturing industry seizing this opportunity has been churning out improved models, with better performance and load capacity. It’s been never so great for pickup trucks.
