motor vehicle designed to transport cargo.- ” truck”With the meaning of motor-powered load carrier, it has been in usage since 1930, shortened from motor truck who dates back to 1916.-1932 kommt der Lo 2000 als weltweit erster Leicht-Lkw mit serienmäßigem Dieselmotor auf den Markt.Lo 2000, Allrounder, Zwei-tonnerDas Chassis hatte Daimler-Benz als Kompromiss aus Hoch- und Niederrahmen konzipiert, sodass diese so genannte Halbniederrahmen-Konstruktion mit schwach gekröpftem Rahmen sich sowohl für den Bus als auch für den Lkw eignete. Das kleine „o“ in der Typenbezeichnung weist auf diese Eigenart hin.# Sparsames Motorenkonzept in wirtschaftlich schwierige Zeiten (25 % gegenüber Benzin motor)# Universelles Chassis mit Bustauglichkeit # Durchbruch der Dieseltechnik im Nutzfahrzeug In extrem schwieriger Zeit wagte die Daimler-Benz AG den Schritt, das Nutzfahrzeugprogramm breiter denn je auszubauen und erstmals einen Dieselmotor auch im so genannten Schnell-Lastwagen serienmäßig anzubieten. Lo 2000 hieß der Leicht-Lkw, den Daimler-Benz 1932 auf dem Genfer Automobilsalon präsentiert. Er ist mit dem neu konzipierten 3,8-Liter-Vorkammerdiesel OM 59 bestückt und verhalf dem Selbstzünder zum Durchbruch auf breiter Front.Universelle KonzeptionMehr als 13 000 Einheiten produziert.Wendig, schnell und sparsam fand dieses Fahrzeug großen Anklang. Seine universelle Konzeption erlaubte die Verwendung als Kipper, Möbel-, Tank- und Kühlwagen sowie als Sonderfahrzeug für Kommunen, Polizei und Feuerwehr. Auch als Sanitätsfahrzeug machte sich der Lo 2000 von Anfang an nützlich. Ab 1934 bereicherten sogar erste Sattelzugmaschinen das Programm.Schrittweise vermehrte sich die Lo-Familie um Typen mit höherer Nutzlast und stärkeren Motoren. Der Vierzylinder wuchs von 3,8 auf 4,9 Liter Hubraum, schließlich gesellte sich eine sechszylindrige Variante mit 7,4 Liter Hubraum und stolzen 95 PS dazu.The oldest truck was built in 1896 by Gottlieb Daimler.Am 1. Oktober 1896 baute Gottlieb Daimler, Begründer der Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft, in Cannstatt bei Stuttgart den ersten motorisierten Lastwagen mit Namen „Phönix“.Dieser hatte eine Nutzlast von 1,5 Tonnen, einen 2-Zylinder-Viertaktmotor mit 1,06 Liter Hubraum und eine Leistung von 4 PS, der eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 16 km/h erlaubte. Heute:Kleinlaster bis 3,5 Tonnen (t) zGG

…well, maybe it looks like a horse box, I just went with what I felt looked okay.The truck is based on this 1930′s Albion flatbed example here using a bit of “artistic licence”:www.actionvehicleagency.co.uk/USERIMAGES/1930%20ALBION%20…I liked this livery so much that I’ve ended up using a few more stickers on this one.Another build for my Corfe Castle station display

Not many owner operators know there are no credit check semi trucks , tractor trailers, over the road truck financing opportunities available from dealers/lenders. These semi trucks are available like any other leases with approximately 12-15% due upfront as a down payment. This creates a tremendous buying opportunity for the owner operator with a good driving history but poor credit history. The dealer/lender is more interested in the owner operators references, personal and business, than his past credit. www.cclgequipmentleasing.com/trader.htm
