Tanker truck (Henschel) "Aral"

Kassel bonnet truck guaranteed to make look Aral striking

What an awe-inspiring look for the Henschel! Pulling the two-axle Aral tanker trailer, the mighty Henschel serves us as a reminder of the emerging boom years of fuel supply transports in the Federal Republic. After their previous release of the Henschel cab-over, WIKING has now miniaturised another classic in the history of tanker trucks. Arals efforts to expand their logistics operations in their various sales branches began as early as the nineteen-fifties. The times called for powerful tankers capable of ensuring the fuel supply to the constantly growing network of petrol stations while also offering the largest possible cargo capacity for supplying industrial customers. With this Henschel, the lorry makers from Kassel put their first horsepower flagship of the post-war era on the roads of Germany.
