Unstoppable: 25 years of Atego

Atego

A modern classic.

1998: Out with the Light Class, in with the Atego – and it is promptly named “Truck of the Year”. Since then, "the little one" has proven what it is made of in countless variants: a class of its own. 25 years of Atego – that’s worth celebrating.

TV stars.

Can truckers become TV stars? A few years ago, that was something fairly unimaginable. But since the advent of "Ice Road Truckers" and other similar series, that has now completely changed. The series entitled "Vägens Hjältar" (roughly translates to urban highway heroes) is a big hit in Sweden. Broadcast on Swedish channel 5, it reports on recovery operations in and around Stockholm. One of the favourite characters of the series is Bärgar-Berra, who solves a good many problems together with his Schnauzer Doris.

Ein Erfolgsmodell mit dem Stern 👍
Schön dass "die Kleinen" auch ihren (Bericht-)Platz hier finden, denn ohne Die würde insbesondere in der regionalen Versorgung definitiv auch nichts gehen.
Wo "den Grossen" Baulich u. Platzmässig Grenzen gesetzt sind, sind einfach "die Kleinen" in ihrem Element u. können ihr Potential voll ausspielen.
Ein wichtiges "unentbehrliches" Glied in der gesamten Versorgungskette 👍
