I saw three or four brand new chassis cabs north-bound on the A45, just north of Frankfurt a/M a while ago. The cabs where in Willi Betz Blue with Espania across the front, in the same type face as that yellow Turkish one (which I’ve also seen somewhere in Germany) has Turkiye in. The chassis cabs had Mega-Space cabs on them and where 6 legger rigids, probably on there way to a body-builder.

Unfortunately I didn’t have my camera ready, so no pics I was also heading south on the A45 at maximum warp, so wouldn’t have had much chance of a pic even if I’d been prepared .

I go through that area quite often. Next time, let me know and I’ll do my best to help you out, in either direction. I can’t promise anything though, I go where the boss sends me.

pulling in like that is nearly as dangerous as taking a picture of it

I saw 2 yellow Betz renault premiums on the M4 heading west today, same livery as the turkish one above, but with ‘Bohemia’ on the front, which is a historic country that occupies what is now 2/3rd of Czech republic.

Interesting because the Germans know it as ‘Bohmen’, and secondly because it’s not actually even a region of czech anymore - anybody know what Betz are doing?

I wondered about the Bohemia question as well, as it isn’t a country as chorcheela says…
