Condobolin NSW Show 2022. Classic trucks-1 Sat 27th Aug 2022

Condobolin Show 2022 in western NSW has been absent for two years due to Covid-19 restrictions and has always a day well spent. A quick wander around some of the classic trucks of days gone by shows how much the industry brands have changed since the heady 1970's and 1980's era. Australia used to look towards the "mother country" for locomotives for the railways and trucks for the road transport sector, an old connection of being part of the British Empire. This changed in the late 1960's and imports from other countries started. Traditional "Pommy" trucks such as Leyland, Thames Trader, Austins, Commers, Bedford's, Atkinson, Foden and Scammel just to name a few have largely disappeared, replaced by the American and European plus Japanese brand names today. The Americans, in from the early days, have lasted the distance and are still about today, however, the brands are somewhat reduced. Diamond, and Reo merged with White but Kenworth and Mack still remain today with the odd Peterbilt. International were a driving force in Australia with the legendary ACCO series plus the American imports of Transtar and Loadstar series. Dodges, part of Chrysler have gone. America had a lot of company mergers in truck manufacturing with Renault joining with Mack and rejigged brands such as Freightliner and Canadian based Western Star appeared. International merged with Atkinson and in turn was taken over by the European Fiat/ IVECO consortium in 1992. European trucks appeared in the 1970's with Mercedes Benz, MAN (Maschinefabrik Augsburg Numberg AG), Deutz, Volvo and Scania making inroads to the market. In that period French made cars Renault, Citroen and Peugeot cars also appeared, but their trucks, Saviem and Berliet never made it here. Dutch made DAF trucks have also reappeared on the market. The Japanese have been about the trucking industry from the 1970's with the Nissan UD series appearing along with Toyota trucks, later the South Koreans and Chinese would join the Australian heavy vehicle market. Trucks from Eastern Bloc Europe never really made it to Australia, although their tractors did. The Russian brands of KAMAZ, ZIL and URAL have remained in Europe plus little known MAZ and LIAZ, both from eastern Europe are unheard of here. 1030hrs on Saturday 27th of August 2022.
