On the Road | The online truck magazine

Road Transport Photo stories and reports

Our online truck zine is something like a magazine, except that it doesn't end up in the paper bin when you’ve finished reading. Instead, it gets thicker as new articles are added all the time. Just like in a print medium, there are sections and topics that change or are expanded, depending on the level of interest, current trends and changing circumstances. Just surf through the articles and read what interests you. Send us an e-mail if you want to offer a story yourself!

A Scottish company fate: The end came after three years

The Brief History of Argyle Trucks

A manageable chapter from international truck history is commercial vehicles produced in Scotland. The Argyle Motor Manufacturing Company from East Kilbride in the West of the country, about 15 kilometers from Glasgow, was an example of Scotland's share of British commercial vehicle production. But after just a few years, what had barely begun came to an end. After all, 25 units left the Argyle plant. In the meantime, half a century has passed and Richard Stanier from Stoke-on-Trent takes a look back at a hopeful beginning and the sudden end.
