Hoi Roland, besten Dank für das Feedback! So viele verschiedene Aufbauten, zusammen mit einer bunten Farbpalette... auch für mich eine faszinierende Parade mit all diesen Schweizer Kraftfahrzeug-Ikonen aus der Vergangenheit. 😊
Schon damals als Jungedlicher war von den Saurer Modelle von Roskopf in 1:87 fasziniert. Die Fahrzeuge sind einfach nur formschön. Ein tolles Design, was die Fahrerhäuser betrifft.
Good to see so many of these trucks. First an article about them in an Australian historical truck magazine 3 - 4 years ago. Apparently some were imported in the 1920s from memory. Didn't expect to see so many modern looking examples and in RHD. Idle curiosity are the number plates modern day or when some of them were first registered??
They are modern day. The difference to most other countries is that the number plates are registered to the owner, not to the vehicle, meaning that the plate moves to your new vehicle if you are going to change it. In the past, many buses and trucks in Switzerland were RHD, which had some advantages on mountain roads. Interesting to hear that they were imported to Australia in the 1920s. Greetings from Switzerland to Australia.
In Switzerland and Italy, trucks often had RHD in order to make it easier for the drivers to negotiate kerbs on narrow streets, and to make it safer to get in an out when frequently stopping for deliveries.
Almost 50 years old and never knew of this brand Saurer, looks like a truck sounds like a truck , guess they never exported them well not seen in Australia
Only a few exported in the latter years. The Swiss government effectively killed off the local truck industry. In contrast, Sweden (with a comparable population) managed to get two brands (Volvo and Scania) onto the world stage in the same timeframe.
@@kurtmuller1861 yes both volvo and scania are seen in high numbers in Australia and are of premium quality , volvo trucks are assembled here too , in Brisbane , scania I think are fully imported but not sure? Even buses are predominantly volvo and scania and man brand
Quand j'allais à l'arsenal de Bière pour prendre possession du matériel de la Police Auxiliaire 21 en cours de répétition il y avait un Suisse Allemand qui me disait avant de monter dans le CT2D avec son accent à couper au couteau : (( En Suisse il y a seulement 2 spécialistes Saurer, un, il est mort .. Et l'autre je ne vous dis pas qui c'est )) 😁
My uncle was a truck driver and during vacation I could go with him on tour! The oldest Saurer he drove had over 500k km under his belt! Was a model similar to 11:16. Of course I remember them from my military time!
Some of these trucks are still in operation, yes... especially the newer ones. Most important though... alll of these trucks are roadworthy and are being driven around for special occasions ! 😊
The Swiss had for many years a width restriction on trucks of 7ft 6in this tends to favour a domestic product as many Manufacturers did not want the expense of a limited production Run . Nice video good show 👍

Great to see all these Saurer and Berna trucks, not seen to often in Europe.
Herrlich diese Fahrzeuge 😊

@@hu3raum Ja das waren noch Zeiten. Diese Fz sind unverwüstlich.
Swiss made = Qualität, robust und Zeitlos. Schade dass sie nicht mehr genau werden
Immerhin ist es jetzt über 40 Jahre her, dass der letzte zivile Saurer LKW das Werk verlassen hat!
Straßensaurier unter sich ....

I recognize all those trucks and companies! Frequently driven in Switzerland in the 1980s, 1990s and 20s, also in transit to Italy
My uncle was a truck driver and during vacation I could go with him on tour! The oldest Saurer he drove had over 500k km under his belt! Was a model similar to 11:16. Of course I remember them from my military time!
... let me guess... military time in Switzerland?
@@hu3raumwhat else😊
Friend, those trucks still operate or are they just museums?
Some of these trucks are still in operation, yes... especially the newer ones. Most important though... alll of these trucks are roadworthy and are being driven around for special occasions ! 😊
Sehr schön 👍🥰
