50 YEARS OF HISTORY | p. 16

A TRUCK WITH HISTORY

For three years, former VAEX driver John van den Zanden worked on his project: building a Scania 142 in the

original Govers style. A vehicle from the early years of VAEX, reminding him of trips taken with his father and his own time with the Govers company. John restored the entire vehicle to its original condition: from the curtains to the grill and from the air horns to the switches. The result? A beauty of a truck, and now the mascot of The Truck Traders.

SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE

A lot has changed in the trucking world

in 50 years. But one thing remains the same: the Scania blood running through our veins. And the fact that we do what we say, and keep our promises. Just like Toon and Leo Govers, back in the old days. That's why we look with pride at the Scania 142 in Govers livery every day. Proof of the deep-rooted history behind The Truck Traders. Sturdy, reliable, and powerful.

CUSTOMERS ABOUT BUFFL

VAN TRIEST TRUCKS | Marc van Triest “I regularly sell vehicles with BUFFL interiors included.” ”

Marc van Triest is a truck enthusiast at heart and a BUFFL fan. Over 20 of the 38 vehicles at Van Triest Veevoeders have a BUFFL interior. That makes both him and his drivers very happy. Marc: “The boys are enthusiastic about the product and the collaboration is going well. Dustin understands what they want when it comes to a logo or a bulb. And Renske handles things as agreed”. BUFFL is also a nice addition to the cooperation between Van Triest Trucks and The Truck Traders. “Fully equipped commercial vehicles get just that little bit extra with a BUFFL interior. That makes them extra attractive!” MATERIALS

LIGHTING

ANTWERP CONTAINER TRANSPORT | Eddy Franck “I came up with a unique interior together with Dustin.”

Eddy Franck of ACT had an interior done by BUFFL before. He liked it so much that this time he came by with a Scania 650 longliner. From the outside, it is already a special vehicle, among other things due to its illuminated panel with the text ‘babam’: Turkish for Dad. A tribute to the founder of ACT. The interior, too, is now unique, with a completely new BUFFL interior. It was created by Eddy, together with our designer Dustin. The eye-catcher is a luxurious round seat, while the black and brown leather gives the cabin a luxurious look. “I didn't look at others for ideas, I just wanted something completely different,” says Eddy. Well, he definitely achieved that. Another unique member of the BUFFL family!
