The appearance of the truck came with the development of societies and the need for a means of carrying more loads. Cars that are operating in different shapes and powers today. Truck is a motor-type transportation vehicle that plays an essential role in life today. Due to their differences in power, but all of them consist of two parts. The cabin and cargo area of the car. The tow truck is responsible for carrying the cargo. These tractors are also known as tractors in American English culture. Many people consider them in the category of trucks.
In smaller sizes, this mechanical difference is very small with passenger and city cars. After the 1960s, technology created a stir, which was manifested in the heavy and intercity car sector.
The emergence of a truck, the beginning to enter the world of engines
The truth is, one day the engine caused the creation of 4-wheeled devices, and after that, the improvement of this device led to the advancement of engines. Nowadays, the use of diesel engines in trucks is insisted. The main reason is the energy that diesel engines have compared to gasoline engines. A complete victory against gasoline.
It is also important to mention that gasoline is used as fuel in some urban and light trucks.
It does not stop at these two types of engines, but The path continues. The first sparks were struck in the 21st century, where environmental pollution sounded the alarm for the world. New energy must be replaced. The arrival of electric motors is a dream that is close to being realized.
Vapor wag
Trucks with any design and appearance, all have a common root, this root is actually the steam wagon.
Wagon that was created in 1769 after the discovery of steam power and the construction of steam boilers. A development that was not taken seriously until the middle of the 19th century due to the lack of feeling of need among governments and people.
The first semi-trailer or cargo tractor was built at the railway station in 1881. Steam Wagons With World War I, the war market turned favors to manufacturers. A fortune that had various roots. The first reason was the speed of transfer and the second was the amount of cargo in terms of quantity and quality, which was considered extraordinary compared to the facilities of that time. In the war, the truck was still not developed and had very limited use. This post-war road tax law broke the economy of wagons and made them very ineffective against trucks. The page turned and the child pushed his mother aside and destroyed it.
Revolutionary
No one would have thought that the invention of a young man named Karl Benz in 1895 could be the foundation of a huge development in the field of trucks in less than 40 years to the point where wagons lost the rhyme.
This invention It was the internal combustion process of the engine. Internal combustion means the combination of fuel and air inside the engine compartment and creating energy for the engine from inside it. An inexhaustible resource. On the contrary, the steam boiler did not suffer from loss and did not have many of its disadvantages. After that, Karl built his first cargo truck, although many of these trucks later became buses. br>Karl's truck construction caused a rapid transformation in this industry. It only took 5 years to build these engines from France to America. Engines with 5 to 8 horsepower, using two cylinders for air intake and smoke exhaust, and carrying capacity of 1.5 to 2 tons. After the war, electric start capability and 4, 6 and 8 cylinder engines were also added to this field.
Many years to progress!
After the World War, the appearance of the truck had a new color and smell. Industries that were interested in discarding the old ways came forward. The United States of America and England were the leaders of this industry at that time. One is due to the existence of a colorful job of wood cutting and the other is due to the many countries under its colonization. East Asia, especially India after leaving colonialism, due to the newness of this industry and the presence of technology inside the country, was able to to become the poles of the world.
Increasing security and better performance was what factories were looking for in these years.
Power at the service of industry!
If you refer to the history of many truck manufacturing companies and read their golden era, one interesting thing will surprise you, the president is the factory manager.
This incident and taking power in Dast made it possible to implement any project. The development, construction and use of all the country's potentials were the 3 main axes of these supports.
World War II
Another war and a banquet table for supplier companies. Especially the truck manufacturers.
The beginning of this period was not like the last time when the companies were in the evolution of the truck, but they were counting for that moment. A competition where whoever finished last, had to taste the bitter taste of surrender.
In addition to making custom trucks, this industry also entered into some projects such as bomber equipment. Selling steel and raw materials to other manufacturing plants in the field of weapons was one of the next actions of the truck manufacturers.
At the end of the war, it was only these truck manufacturers who could do whatever they liked with pockets full of money. And they kicked their smaller competitors out of the game.
