I have seen it once in reality, was around 1990 on the A1 at night, near Remscheid. It was running uphill with about 50 m long profiles very slow with a warning vehicle behind, I was overtaking. Seen it on photos before and immediately recognized it.

The German truck manufacturer Büssing had the same construction realized in the early 80ties but was not accepted by the market. Therefore, the concept remains for special applications of interest only. Most of the drivers had problems accepting the low drivers position

@miriamlana833Ай бұрын
Only possible with the Büssing then MAN underfloor engine. Unfortunately this engine concept doesn't exist anymore in trucks today. The engine had to be in a box because of engine noise laws in the late production years, maybe this had caused temperature problems. Was funny to see this box nearly scatching the ground on volume trucks with small wheels.

There is a vehicle that shares similarity with the schnibbelmobil, which is the Boeing steer car used to provide assistance in transport of aeroplane parts

If I hear a foreigner say "travelling on the legendary german Autobahn" I know, he knows nothing. "THE AUTOBAHN" does not exist. The word "Autobahn" is just the translation of the word Highway. Do not use it. Just call our highways what they are - german highways. Or would you call french highways "autoroute"? Or highways in Spain "carretera"?!?!
@friktionrc25 күн бұрын
I think it stems from the fact that unlike most countries in Europe, and dare I say, around the world…it’s well known that some parts of the German motorway (autobahn) is de-restricted….so being a German word, instead of saying German motorway, it’s become more acceptable from those outside it Germany to call them “Autobahns” ..using your examples of France and Spain, yes I’m pretty sure people would call them those names…if it was well known they had de-restricted sections. The addiction of speed on roads that aren’t race tracks is a love for many people 😂

Maybe when built the serial underfloor engines were too weak, and they tuned it, the turbocharger at 2:53 looks not serial.
