Klassische Deutsche Nutzfahrzeuge - Enzyklopädie erloschener Marken

This illustrated book presents the development of German commercial vehicles in the early age of motorisation. With the arrival of the combustion engine, traditional carriages became modern trucks, buses, tractors and harvesting machines. In the early 20th century many manufacturers appeared, often for only a short time, yet they produced models that are now regarded as classics.

Author Halwart Schrader introduces brands such as Borgward, Hanomag and Eicher and documents their complete vehicle ranges. The book covers commercial, governmental and agricultural vehicles, supported by historical images and concise background information. It offers a clear overview of an important period in German automotive history.
