About us

Welcome to truckinfocus.com - your one-stop shop for everything to do with trucks. Young or old - what counts is your interest in commercial vehicles, because as the name suggests, we focus on trucks.

But who and what is behind this website?

truckinfocus.com is a dynamically growing project by Steve St.Schmidt, who has been in the world of trucks for decades. As founder and former publishing director of Edition Diesel Queen and initiator of the renowned German magazine Last&Kraft, Steve has built up an impressive archive of tens of thousands of photos and brochures, many of them historical, which is now gradually being made accessible to an interested public. He has long since handed over the magazine to another publisher, but his passion for everything to do with road transportation has remained.

All the world's brands will be represented, from Astra and Barreiros to Kenworth, Mercedes, Volvo and Zuk. Over time, we will present hundreds of other manufacturers in words and pictures. We are interested in the entire history of trucks, from classic steam trucks to modern electric trucks and from delivery vans to off-road dump trucks.

But truckinfocus.com is more than just a picture archive. Our hard-working contributors also provide their expert knowledge with great passion, which is published in the brand encyclopedia and in the magazine "On the Road". From milestones in truck history to current trends - we always keep you up to date.

So we have a lot planned. Such a complex website can hardly be created by one person alone. That's why Steve has gathered a team of like-minded people and friends around him, who are responsible for the complex programming as well as helping with the research and writing of the texts.

The concept, design and programming of this website have not only taken years of work, but have also been costly. That is why it is unavoidable to place advertising on our pages, especially as we do not want to ask our visitors to pay. With us, everything is and remains free of charge, except for the sending of high-resolution photos on request.

Our website, designed by enthusiasts like you and us, is packed with exciting articles written by dedicated brand fans and supplemented by experienced editors. With us, you can be sure that quality and precision come first.

Our aim is to become one of the largest online image archives in the truck sector and to continue to provide photos and information of all kinds for truck enthusiasts in the future. The number of contributions is constantly growing.

We want to create a platform where truck enthusiasts can exchange ideas, find inspiration and information. Join us, become part of our growing community and let's build the ultimate website for truck fans together! Visit us regularly and immerse yourself in the fascinating world of trucks.

Have fun on truckinfocus.com!
