THE ILLUSTRATED ENCYCLOPEDIA OF TRUCKS

A guide to classic and contemporary trucks around the world, including 700 photographs

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.

* A comprehensive reference to every type of truck: general load carriers, box vans, curtainsiders and tankers.

* Also 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 includes all the most successful manufacturers as well as many lesser-known brands.
