The Truck Book: The Definitive Visual History

NEU

Trucks trace their origins to late 19th-century steam wagons and the development of internal combustion engines in the 1870s. Over time, they adapted to various purposes, becoming panel vans, pick-ups, heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), and construction trucks like log carriers and cement mixers.
Trucks have played vital roles in warfare, emergency services as ambulances and fire engines, and even entertainment as monster trucks.

This richly illustrated book explores the history of trucks and trucking, from early motorized wagons to modern driverless freight vehicles. It highlights key innovations and the evolving role of trucks in society.
The book features:
- Chapters on significant models from each era, including the Ford TT, Bedford TM Turbo 92, and Toyota Hilux.
- Insights into trucking culture and the enduring appeal of brands like UPS and Eddie Stobart.
- Gallery pages offering a global perspective on vehicles, from microvans to American big rigs and earthmovers.

Combining historical photos, visual tours, and detailed sections on manufacturers, designers, and technological milestones, "The Truck Book" is a comprehensive and visually engaging account of over 120 years of trucking history.

Electric Trucks - A History of Delivery Vehicles, Semis, Forklifts and Others

Welcomed at end of the 19th century as the solution to the severe problem of horse manure in city streets, electric trucks soon became the norm for short-haul commercial deliveries. Though reliable, they were gradually replaced by gasoline-powered trucks for long-haul deliveries-although a fleet of electric milk trucks survived in Great Britain into the 1960s. Industrial electric vehicles never disappeared from factories and ports.

During the past decade, with the availability of the lithium-ion battery, the electric truck is back on the road for all payloads and all distances. The fourth in a series covering the history and future of electric transport, this book chronicles the work of the innovative engineers who perfected e-trucks large and small.
