So Gustav Mäuler knew how to send his cargo
So far, there was the MAN-front handlebar generation of the late 1960s for public transport only as flatbed and suitcase truck, now let the model makers of WIKING drive this series with the Nahverkehrskabine as a two-axle tractor in the program. In order for the series, which was launched in 1967, to be contemporary, the traditional model builders have provided a new bumper component and a separate radiator grille for the first era - new truck young-timer creativity is on the agenda. And the forwarder of Gustav Mäuler, now well-known to WIKING's friends, provided the model sponsor for the trailer train, which campaigned for the daily general cargo service between the Remscheid location and southern Germany. The new radiator grille still features vertical louvres and refers to the "MAN Diesel" as well as to the prototype that was once stationed in the Bergisch Land - and with good reason. Two years after the peak of the global economic crisis, Gustav Mäuler had become self-employed in 1934 with a small transport company. After the war, the spirit of its founders was boosted again, mouths vehemently swore its fleet on MAN. The front handlebar generation of small and large Pausbacke had at first mouth to piece with Mäuler and should be compared to the Mercedes-Benz vehicles of his company significantly in the majority. For example, WIKING is reminiscing about a family-owned freight forwarding company that has retained its efficiency through the dedication of the founder of Remscheid until today.
