The production of gasoline trucks begins in 1919. Here we have a fire truck of the 1950s, equipped by the German company Metz (not to be confused with Canada-based Metz Fire & Rescue).

The production of petrol-powered trucks started in 1919. This bus with a semi-long bonnet is a 1951 model year. Its particularity consists in its double-deck, only located at the rear.
