Flatbed tractor-trailer (Krupp “Transag Suisse”

Flatbed tractor-trailer (Krupp “Transag Suisse”.

The last Krupp from the Swiss Alps

It heralded the end of a lorry era in Switzerland. With the real-life brother of this Krupp 806, Transag Suisse delivered a flatbed tractor-trailer to the customer that left nothing to be desired in terms of loading volume. In typical Swiss fashion, the view of the sides reveals aluminium flatbed flanks that are enclosed by the body paint. The release of this Krupp semi-trailer combination is now joining its fellow and familiar tanker road train that shares the same Swiss origin. The logo of the Swiss Confederacy is found on the front of the Krupp cab, where it is joined by the crest of the Canton Aargau.
