Milk tank trucks are designed to enable the safe, efficient and fast transport of milk from the countryside to the cities. They were first used in the early 1930s and went through various design improvements and modifications until the 6 wheel milk tanker was developed, which remained in use until the early 1980s when their use was pushed into the background by road transport. Over 600 copies were built between 1932 and 1948, some of which have survived.
