“I’m really looking forward to taking over from Ian at the helm of Diesel Progress International,” said Buckley. “Component suppliers and engine manufacturers are under increasing pressure to deliver improving efficiencies across commercial and off-road machinery, to reduce both operating costs and the environmental impact. I’m excited to cover many of these cutting-edge technologies in upcoming issues of DPI.”

“We also thank Ian Cameron for his years of service and wish him the best in the future.”
