Belgian coachbuilders ATK work closely together with Renault in creating custom-built trucks to exact specifiactions of the customers. Using a Renault D-Range as base, they create special vehicles with a very low gravity point as one of their main selling factors.

 

The trucks can have a total weight of either 10, 12, 14 or 16 tons, with the one seen here being a 16-tonner, as reflected in the model name.

 

This specific vehicle was built as a fish/seafood sales truck for Aarhus company JJ Fisk. It can also be seen on the website of ATK, where it is used as one of their references.

 

Going up the steep hill leading sw out of Aarhus past Viby and Stautrup. Underpowered and/or heavily loaded trucks often struggle here.

 

Tip: to locate trucks of particular interest to you, check my collections page, "truck collection" (www.flickr.com/photos/lavulv/collections/72157684190396672/ ) - here you will find all trucks organized in more than 1800 albums, by haulier (with zip-codes), year, brand and country.

 

Retirement age for trucks: many used trucks are offered for sale on international markets. If sold to a foreign buyer, this will not be listed in the danish motor registry, so a "retired" truck may or may not have been exported. In other words, the "retirement age" only shows the age, at which the truck stopped running on danish license plates.
