The puzzle is about something that is quite relevant nowadays in Europe. Several countries are experimenting with these types of vehicles.

For 1 point: What is the make of the truck?
For an additional point: Who made the combination? When? Where?

A White truck?
The road train was made in Australia?
In the fifties - say 1952?

If I'm anywhere near, please don't lock the puzzle as I am guessing.

Your far off. On all accounts.

Let's try the Pros.

Does it have anything to do with hybrid engine technology? For example a diesel-electric engine? It looks like late 1920s, early 1930s. It reminds me a bit of the Austro-Daimler Landwehr train by Ferdinand Porsche, which was much earlier.

It does not have anything to do with hybrid engines, AFAIK.
I believe the truck was a stock item.

Used in the oil and gas exploration business?

Do you refer to the recent discussion about gigaliners?

DeAutogids · « **Reply #9 on:** March 24, 2011, 05:09:56 AM »

You mean in my original post? If you mean with that the experiment in many countries called "EuroCombi" then yes.

Wendax · « **Reply #10 on:** March 24, 2011, 05:13:00 AM »

I meant that.

The Canadian company Hayes-Anderson developed multi-trailer logging trucks which were able to run in almost a single track. Has this one anything to do with those?

DeAutogids · « **Reply #12 on:** March 28, 2011, 04:19:32 AM »

According to my source it is not Canadian and the name is not correct. But you are on the right track (hint)

DeAutogids · « **Reply #13 on:** April 04, 2011, 07:37:12 AM »

I give you a hint. The truck is not manufactured in the same country as where the whole "combination" was made.
The picture was taken from an online source. The actual source is an original newspaper of the time.

DeAutogids · « **Reply #14 on:** April 26, 2011, 06:25:18 AM »

The truck is from Germany.
But this particular combination is not made there.

Wendax · « **Reply #15 on:** April 26, 2011, 07:52:22 AM »

Was the truck made by Henschel?

Combination made in Belgium?

Both incorrect and thanks for the bump

Was the truck made by Krupp?

DeAutogids · « **Reply #19 on:** May 04, 2011, 08:34:36 AM »

Neither. I suppose it is less known then both of those names.

DAAG?

DeAutogids · « **Reply #22 on:** May 08, 2011, 04:19:56 PM »

Not DAAG. But it is an AG
