I still have some truck puzzles in the pipeline. So here's another one.

For one point, please respond and identify this truck.

You correctly identified the origins of the cab as coming from the MAN / Saviem cooperation. But remember that this is AutoPuzzles where things rarely are what they seem to be. Upon further research you will find out that this cab was used by other manufacturers as well. Happy digging!

I know, I know  :D

So let's go:
The reason I choose MAN, was because of the top of the grille, maybe ÖAF then?

Unlocked.

It might help to take a closer look at the picture, though.

The link between ÖAF and Saviem is that ÖAF was taken over by MAN who cooperated with Saviem.

Aha - I see morphly now has 20 points so I've promoted him to Expert status accordingly - well done morphly!

Unfortunately this means he can't participate in this puzzle whilst it remains in the Rookie section..

So all the remaining Rookies are invited to find out what differentiates this ÖAF from a simply rebadged MAN.

It seems we need an Expert to finish this one.

Yes, as easy as that! It is an ÖAF Elektro truck, recognizable by the large black battery box between the axles. I'll add the unmodified photo tonight.

One more point for you.
