I am bloody affraid you have no idea about Germany - what they show you and the world is nothing but the cover of what it was before, and I do not mean the Nazis!!!
Me as a German (and as a german mechanical master) I give a shit for Mercedes and Volkswagen making their profit the hell knows where, by forgetting where they are from and forgetting what spirit of what kind of people made them great !!! And yes, this is (but only one) sad thing in Germany!!!
Nice shot of the S39 at the 1.38 mark. used to own one of them but it had the split windscreen. 1970 it was made, a 8 wheeler tipper with the Gardner 180 engine. You want to see the muscles in my left leg from working the clutch!
mickeymoose76 say check you facts pal; he must be a right car driving cunt thats how they talk .i bet you dare not go up to driver and say that fuck off mickeymoose76 and keep reading wikipedia:
calm down you tit! I thought that morris was saying that MANs were based on ERF, I just misread what he said thats all and got my brands mixed up, no need to insult me you nob, I went on wiki for evidence thats all...
Theres some video of "Big Mal" a foden dump truck you feature on here. I used to load an old DG4 foden tipper with a dragline some years ago, the brick company I worked for used it for hauling clay. They owned it and ran it for 32 years. It very rarely lost any work time and was extremely reliable.
check you facts pal; Quoted from wikipedia: "All the ERF trucks were based on MAN's existing products, the only difference being that the ERF model came with the option of specifying use of Cummins ISMe power plant as an alternate to MAN's own D20 common rail power-plant"
ERF did diverge from Foden in the first place so there were links, ERF being Edwin Richard Foden, son of the company's founder. Both marques were built at Sandbach before the foreign takeovers, though ERF did move to Middlewich in 2000 for several years at the end.
Perhaps had the two merged in the mid seventies as was mooted, we might still have a British lorry.
Its sad nearly all british companies have gone this way, we truly have next to nothing to offer the world now and this will be our eventual downfall....sad, really sad!
To give them their due, MAN deserve to survive too, being one of the oldest names in the motor industry, and having a hand in the developement of the diesel engine. Rudolf Diesel was working for MAN when he came up with a means of injecting the fuel directly into the cylinder.
Contrary to popular belief, Diesel didn't invent the principle of compression ignition, just made it work more efficiently. Englishman, Herbert Akroyd Stuart patented his oil engine 2 years earlier than Diesel, in 1890.
@XELA2T What is happening in Germany? Germany owns nearly all the truck companies! MAN, Scania, Mercedes, ERF etc, Germany is the most successful country at the moment, You have nothing to feel sad about!!

On the front of the truck looks like "Foder" and not "Foden". Do you know what means "Foder" in Portuguese? Fuck. They should make a different "N".

Like the shot of the Foden S50 Half Cab at 1.18. Tilcon ran lots of those in the 70's - not many around now.

It was ERF that ended up as a badged MAN. Fodens finished finished up as a rebadged DAF, built at the old Leyland works.
