UPDATED 2018. This wonderfully illustrated book begins with a
history of the truck, covering its origins, evolution, and the
early pioneers of truck design and engineering. A wide variety of
trucks are featured, with more than 700 photographs, from general
load carriers such as box vans and furniture- removal vans, to
specialized vehicles such as fire trucks, military trucks and
mobile cranes. Trucks from Europe, North America and many other
countries are discussed, highlighting differences in design and the
manufacturers who made them. Each vehicle is put into historical
context, showing its uses, how it reached its current position in
the market, or how production resulted in its demise. A history of
the truck spans its origins and evolution, from the early pioneers
to today's modern load carriers. This is followed by a
comprehensive reference to every type of truck: general load
carriers, box vans, curtainsiders and tankers, the book features a
range of specialized trucks such as concrete mixers, self-loading
trucks, furniture-removal vans, refuse trucks, fire trucks,
recovery trucks, logging trucks, heavy-haulage trucks, military
trucks and mobile cranes. A newly updated photographic A-Z
directory of over 280 makes, including all the most successful
manufacturers as well as many lesser-known brands.
