The most interesting aspects of trucks

We already know that modern life would be hard to imagine without trucks and that the vast majority of today’s industries would not be able to function even for a day without this transport. Trucks have emerged as a result of the evolution of the production of goods, due to the need to transport large volumes, in a short time and in different parts of the Globe. The land distribution of goods is one of the most important ways of delivering and within the Community space, this aspect represents an aspect and at the same time, a major benefit. Besides the obvious utility of the trucks, they have a story worthy of interest. And because each word or concept represents a moment of its genesis, the word ” truck ” was used for the first time since 1611 and referred to the heavy wheels that were intended to load guns on ships. Starting with that moment the word ” truck ” was adapted and associated with a series of elements and locomotives that were designed for the transport of heavy loads. The appearance of the first motor truck took place in the late 1800s and was created by a German engineer by the name of Gottlieb Daimler. As for the largest annual truck production, we can say that in 2011, the Isuzu jack set its record, producing 447,359 units in a single year. One of the most challenging jobs on Earth is represented by truck driving.

A very interesting aspect of the trucking industry is that, it collects on average, revenues worth 650 billion euros every year and it is estimated that this industry will increase by about 21% in the next 10 years. While a car is used to consuming about 2 tonnes per year of diesel, the truck uses around 77 tonnes of diesel per year. Thanks to new technologies, currently operating diesel trucks are much less polluting compared to the 1800-1900s. In 2017, 60 trucks would be needed to match the exhaust emissions of a single track from 1988. The Caterpillar 797F is considered to be the largest truck in the world, with a height of 6.5 m high, 14.8 m high and 9.75 m wide and can carry a maximum load of 687.5 tonnes. However, SCANIA managed to build the strongest truck and to overthrow the VOLOVs from the position of the strongest truck in the world.
