Taking place on Thursday 10th October at 3:00 pm BST, the webinar will be hosted by Sandeep Kar, Frost & Sullivan’s global director of commercial vehicle research and will look at how the global medium-heavy truck market, a leading indicator of economic activity, is undergoing tectonic changes and finding itself functioning in a flat world ecosystem.

The firm says that sales volumes for this market will come from emerging markets and margins from emerging technologies.
