Trucks, lorries, and vans have a rich history that traces back to the late 1800s when steam wagons were the primary mode of transportation. The invention of the modern combustion engine in the 1870s marked a significant milestone, leading to the development of various types of trucks. These vehicles have evolved and diversified over the years, serving different purposes and adapting to changing technologies.
From panel vans and pick-up trucks to heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) and construction trucks like log carriers and concrete transporters, trucks have become an integral part of our society. They have played a crucial role in wars, saving lives as ambulances and fire engines, and even providing entertainment through monster trucks.
