Description

CMC Mercedes-Benz lorry LO 2750, 1934-38, platform truck

At the end of the 1920s, a new era of lorry construction began at the Daimler-Benz plant in Gaggenau. The company was bold and from 1932 presented a series of lorries equipped with diesel engines as standard for the first time. Within a very short time, the diesel engine replaced the petrol engine that had been commonly used until then and became the measure of all things due to its economy and high reliability. A new generation of lorries with a wide range of models was born.
