DEANB posted an article on the “European” and in 1969 two importers have been appointed by ERF LTD.:
- ■■■■■■■ Distributor Belgium (CDB) of Brussels, previously Ets. Denonville
- Voortstuwingstechniek of Dordrecht
■■■■■■■ entered the European-market in the early thirties and Voortstuwingstechniek (Dutch for propulsion)
made the ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ quite extensive with engines for boats, generators and construction. They carried
on with that but handed over the ERF-business towards “Best Truck Import” aka Bestebreurtje at the time the
3- and 5 MW were by far not succesful in Holland (whereas CDB was hitting with assembly in house) and the
NGC came in.
The tipper as announced in the article was not a rigid-tipper but a 6x4 tractor with tipper-trailer. Delsaert was
an early customer with a 5MW (see headlights) 6x4 tipper as rigid, to be followed by the Hydrocar tar-sprayers
of which 4 were bought. The Delsaert-tipper is in front of the CDB-offices
