This famous German brand of trucks became a subsidiary of Volkswagen in 2011. Model cars manufacturers, Alerte among others, often reproduce fire-fighting vehicles. So this IXO diecast model is a bit of an exception. The origins of the TGX date back to 2007. The version we have here was slightly restyled in 2016, before a brand new generation replaced it in 2020.

This famous German truck manufacturer was established in 1758 (it was a steel company at the time) and is owned by Volkswagen since 2011. MAN also manufactured tractors. From 1921 to 1923 first, then from 1938 to meet a growing demand for this kind of machines. After WWII, most MAN tractors will have four-wheel drive, such as this 1956 A25A.
