Maybe we should narrow it down by geography, before we descend into

"B**** brothers"
*C**** brothers"

and so on...

I don't feel happy about puzzling  according to general criteria. That fits much better in everyday media, but has -in my mind- no place on a site for car-maniacs, where I expect a lot more creativity. Which I also have to spend looking for new puzzles.
I feel free to add some hints, if somebody thinks in the right direction. which will lead mostly to the solution, as has often been proven.
This puzzle isn't as hard to solve, as it may look like. Give me some ideas, not only names. So I would feel free to show a path to the solution

Okay, let's try another approach. Do you know something about these Brothers? Were they involved in just passenger car coachbuilding?

Dear 'pnegyesi', I think this may be a promising approach:
Yes, I know a lot about these brothers and 'passenger car coachbuilding' was not their main business

If they did that, it was not their main business, which they were famous for

Not trucks, but some of the characters are used in the description, what they produced
