vintage transport

An old Freightliner from a to me unknown country. The adds on the covered semi are mentioning that is running between the Middle East and Europe. The number of operators offering this service is limited nowadays certainly compared with the seventies.

An Iveco EuroStar with a middle-sized raised roof. owned by Danish operator Asger Sorensen. The Iveco was a nice good looking truck. Iveco tried to get connected to the league of Scania and Volvo with it. Unfortunately, it never got quality issues under control during its life cycle. 

The IFA 4 x 4 was mainly used as a tipper. The East German manufacturer didn't offer anything else tan this W60 but created numerous versions of it including firefighters like this one. In the Eastern part of Germany, there are still a number of it on active duty.

Kandt is known for its very nice heavy haulers. This isn't only from recent years, also in the nineties, it owned impressive and good looking trucks like this MAN F2000 EVO. The combo took part in an edition of the annual Macke and Special transport day in Utecht.

Leemans owns this nice old F2000 EVO heavy hauler. The rig is equipped with the tall roadhouse cab. The double drive MAN was and still is a very capable performer. Its output and torque figures are not up to date anymore but with its old fashioned gearing, this isn't much of a problem.

Furntiurecombos like this are stunningly beautiful. Certainly when somebody restored it into perfection like this one. The rig is based on a Magirus Deutz chassis. Some local coachbuilder created the stunning bodywork with an integrated cab.
