The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Trucks - A guide to classic and contemporary trucks around the world, including 700 photographs

This book opens with a clear history of the truck, describing its origins, development, and the early pioneers of truck design and engineering. It presents a wide range of vehicles through more than 700 photographs, from standard load carriers such as box vans and furniture vans to specialized vehicles including fire engines, military trucks, and mobile cranes.

It also serves as an updated A-Z photographic directory of more than 280 manufacturers. Alongside the best-known builders, many lesser-known brands are included. Trucks from Europe, North America, and many other regions are covered, with attention to differences in design and production. Each vehicle is placed in its historical context, explaining its purpose, its success in the market, or the reasons production ended.

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.

The Truck Book: The Definitive Visual History

Trucks developed from late 19th-century steam wagons and the early use of internal combustion engines in the 1870s. Over time, they were adapted for many tasks, including panel vans, pick-ups, heavy goods vehicles, and construction machines such as log carriers and cement mixers. Trucks have also played key roles in war, emergency services as ambulances and fire engines, and in entertainment, for example as monster trucks.

This richly illustrated book explores the history of trucks and road transport, from the first motorized wagons to today's driverless freight vehicles. It explains major technical advances and shows how the role of trucks in society has changed.

The book includes chapters on important models from different periods, such as the Ford TT, Bedford TM Turbo 92, and Toyota Hilux, as well as insights into trucking culture and well-known brands like UPS and Eddie Stobart. Gallery sections present vehicles from around the world, from microvans to American heavy trucks and earthmovers.
Combining historic images with clear explanations, the book offers a comprehensive visual account of more than 120 years of trucking history.
