In the begin of the sixties, Adriaan Beers (amongst others) foresaw that legislation for road transport
required smart thinking…for sure when volume/weight was important.
Transport-companies frequently focussed on that development as Brul of Nieuweschans (with that so
typical cab with splitted window-shields) did…it for sure was THE first step to nowadays so excepted
mode of transport with front-cabbed equipment, in particular with tractors.
On the LV-series, Werkspoor, Paul & van Weelde together with Roset had the majority of the market
with (in all respect to) van Eck, De Graaff, Hondenbrink were in charge of the ‘remainders’ but bear in
mind that the market for cab-builders (together with the rest of the body when we speak of bodies in
terms of tarpaulins, thermo-conditions, etc etc) was very local then.
