The triumphal march of the modern automobile to the most important transport and means of transport in the world began with the car of Carl Benz. The decisive step of the automobile's ascent took Henry Ford: his Model T and not as assumed the Ford Mustang went off the assembly line in mass production and became affordable to a wide population. This new mobility and independence radically changed and simplified the everyday life of humanity. A truck is mostly powered by a trailer. This team is called a load train. If the tractor is short and the trailer is placed on it, the trailer is called a tractor train. The largest truck manufacturers today are MAN, Daimler Mercedes, Dongfeng, Volvo, VW, Scania, Paccar. In 1980, herpa showed model trucks in scale 1:87 for the first time at the Nuremberg Toy Fair. Just one year later, all cabs of the truck miniature models can be tilted and equipped with an engine replica, especially for technology lovers. Thanks to the excellent details and the scale appearance, herpa truck models have experienced strong demand and quickly became sought-after collectibles. All herpa model cars and model trucks are launched in snap construction (without adhesive connections), a new type of model kit. Today, herpa model cars and truck models are also highly appreciated as promotional gifts. MiniKits are original herpa models as kits for model railways and collectors. MiniKits can be assembled in a few simple steps without glue due to the herpa snap design (assembly instructions are included). So the model system can be inexpensively equipped with cars or a car transport train can be loaded cheaply with cars. And airbrushers can paint the body in their own colour before assembly.
