Motor Transport's technical editor Will Shiers has been voted the commercial vehicle writer of the year by the Guild of Motoring Writers.

The award, which is sponsored by Volvo Truck and open to members and non-members of the guild, was awarded to Shiers for demonstrating an ability to tackle topical subjects  while providing information that could help with purchasing decisions.

The three Motor Transport stories for which he won the award were:

• an auto v manual 7.5-tonne MAN test
• the report of a Euro 5 and Euro 6 conference in Brussels
• and a feature about Scania's young driver finalists behind the wheel of the Denby prototype 60-tonner.
