Eric,
Thank you for jumping in and confirming! Indeed ■■■■■■■ was well-known in Belgium, due to ‘excellent’ performance
with the ex-army-surplus after WW2 and Denonville servicing with parts and support. Van Steenbergen diversificated
their transport, after 1997 only with emphasis on MB after severe troubles with Scania (at a time the fleet consisted
of roughly 60 Scania’s and some 10 Volvo’s) so the Stutgart-star jumped into a nice spread bed…with spin-off to the
many other Scania-users in that region abandoning Scania after a long time.
Krupp had standard V6- or V8- ■■■■■■■ installed, as Krupp and ■■■■■■■ agreed upon a license to manufacture these
engines out of Germany. By the way, there is a unique “Denonville” existing out of the 150 produced during 1937-1940
and with a ■■■■■■■ under the hood. It’s located at Scania-Denonville in Couvin, a grandson of the founder is director.
You being out of West-Flandres will no doubt remember Gruwez of Bruges with ERF B-series as well as Autocar-tractor
also delivered by ■■■■■■■ Distributor Belgium. Also De Meulemeester drove ERF as well as White Road Commander.
Well, have a nice X-mas and to be continued! Don’t hesitate in case you need something or want to share
