Model: HO Gauge. Scania CR 20 HD with two box semi-trailers UPS Spain. ECO DUO is the name given to the combination of a tractor with two regular semi-trailers. UPS uses this combination in Spain to move double loads with just one tractor. Of course, this also saves CO2 here. UPS looks back on over 125 years of company history and has had its current name since 1919. It wasn't until August 1976 that UPS took the step out of the USA and opened the first branch in the world outside the USA in Neuss, opposite today's Rheinpark. UPS now employs around 500,000 people worldwide. The model appears in a one-off edition.
The finished model is made of plastic, painted and printed.
Wilhelm Hergenröther founded the company in Nuremberg in 1949. The company name is composed of the name Hergenröther Patent. Initially, the company produced model railway accessories. In 1961, Riwa-Plastik, a plastic parts manufacturer for the photo and phono industry, was founded.
In 1965, Herpa was taken over by this company. Both brand names continue to be used. The first 1/87th scale car model was presented at the Nuremberg Toy Fair. Two years later, the first truck model in the same scale followed. Over the years, the magazine "MASS:STAB" is published. Since then, six copies have been published annually.
