It is the last generation of proud square hoods. As a tractor unit, WIKING is now also making the Magirus-Deutz ready for heavy transport. It is celebrating its premiere in the company colours of the Ulm-based lorry manufacturer and with precious Deutz engine freight. As early as 1971, the german construction heavy-duty vehicles had already made a good name for themselves. For the most part, as at WIKING, they started out with Meiller tippers. Making new from old – WIKING has succeeded in combining old and new components. The square hood cab of 1974 will in future be given new honours and also receive a new radiator grille. As early as 1974, the last generation with the Magirus-Deutz lettering and stylised silhouette of the Ulm Münster on the radiator grille was to continue the time line of the square hood at WIKING. The Magirus-Deutz 232 D 22 AK appeared as a steel flatbed and tipper trailer – with Meiller superstructure, of course. They were to become indispensable regulars among the 1:87 construction vehicles, not least because the series was carried by the image of the “German heavy-duty construction vehicle”. From now on the square hood will also be able to develop its model power as a tractor unit.
