Wiking 045602 – MAN flatbed truck “Schenker”

Schenker’s Deployment in Air Freight Service

New order for the Nuremberg-based Schenker specialists of the air freight service provider Jet-Cargo: The MAN forward-control generation is now being introduced as a three-axle model. In Schenker colors, the F7/F8 series truck with its single cab provides a typically contemporary classic car appearance. To ensure that the series, launched in 1967, also appears contemporary, the traditional model makers have provided the radiator grille of the era – the new classic truck bears the letters “MAN Diesel” on the front, with only the Büssing lion recalling the previous, still legible merger of the two brands. Schenker branches had prepared themselves for the individual requirements of their customers during those years – air freight services were increasingly in demand in the early 1970s.

The driver’s cab features a Schenker logo on both sides in sulfur yellow and black. The cab front features a red radiator grille.
