Adriaan Beers: Dutch inventor and trademan!

Just some remarks on the previous pictures…

Adriaan Beers was a genuine businessman and very capable to ‘cope’ with individual interests
of participating stakeholders in the transportation industry. By 1965 it was known that ECT
would order quite some tractors to meet requirements for first container-distribution.

Bear in mind that the previous pictures show both day-cabbed and (more or less) sleeper-cabs,
but the idea behind it was to SHOW (the best showroom is on the road) what specifications
are available and possible. For local distribution (in- and outbound) a day-cabbed tractor would
do and attract local transport-companies, whereas for the ‘hinterland’ and even more far the
sleeper-cab with at least one bunk would be the real benefit.

As said, some 20 tractors were sold and the cabbuilders of the western part of holland, think
of Paul, Paul & van Weelde, Roset, van Eck, de Graaff, Werkspoor etc had the first choice to
present what they were capable of to produce.
