Strange trucks coming up the street.

For one point, please respond and identify these trucks and their engine.

Does the aim of the cabin is to go both directions without performing a u-turn?

Wendax · « **Reply #2 on:** October 29, 2011, 03:15:08 PM »

The cabin turns with the wheels, that's right.

Unterflur engine?

Wendax · « **Reply #10 on:** November 14, 2011, 03:17:23 AM »

Not absolutely sure, but I think so

Wendax · « **Reply #11 on:** November 14, 2011, 03:35:37 PM »

After I had a look in my source, I rather think that the engine was placed in the cabin.

Allemano · « **Reply #12 on:** November 14, 2011, 04:00:19 PM »

From a known, truck related company?

Wendax · « **Reply #13 on:** November 14, 2011, 04:41:16 PM »

No, as far as I know this was the only truck made by this company.

Wendax · « **Reply #14 on:** November 14, 2011, 04:44:32 PM »

But they also were active as a coachbuilder.

This is a 6 ton "von Lienen Selbstfahrer" with a 25 HP Volkswagen engine, built in 1951 by "Fahrzeugfabrik Emil H. von Lienen GmbH", Bochum.

You are absolutely right. This truck was used for the transport of goods from the railway station to the recipients. The concept of a big truck with a small engine resembles that of the far more known Econom trucks from Berlin. What was special about this one is that the cabin turned with the front axle and that it was possible to turn the axle by 180 degrees and use this "Selbstfahrer" as a trailer, if goods had to be carried for a longer distance.

One more point for you.
