From lumbering house-shakers on solid tyres to smooth turbo-power
in the 1970s, the lorry has come a very long way in a remarkably
short time. In the early competition between steam, petrol and
electricity, the internal combustion engine had more or less won by
the 1920s, after proving itself in the First World War, when
all-wheel-drive arrived in quantity and thousands of new drivers
were trained. The book traces the developments that created the
modern truck in the 1960s and 1970s - tilt cabs, clever
transmission technology and turbo power, and the transcontinental
journeys they travelled.
