Atkinson? Whatever it is, it looks like it was made out of a chopped-up Walk-In Van. |

Exxon oil truck? |

Standard Oil of New Jersey didn't use the name "Exxon" until around 1972. More than likely, this has to be Esso. |

I'd imagine the truck is a short bus, which leaves us with coach manufactures like Hägglunds, SKV (later; bought by Scania), Skandia (later; Helmark) and Höglunds (later; Säffle). Perhaps Hägglunds is the most likely alternative? The coulor is indeed ESSO, as Exxon was never sold in Sweden. |

Looks like a Bristol RE bus chopped ! But seriously this is a heavy truck chassis with a coachbuilt cab , the front bodywork covers the pumping gear, not unlike the AEC Superfueller.- http://p2.la-img.com/252/11474/2936069_1_l.jpg http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1960/1960%20-%201022.html -- Last edit: 2011-08-12 10:40:12 |

The step-ring on the front wheel has a British look. Could well be an AEC with a local body. |

Yes, sure... ESSO colours and design. I forgot this, filmed in Sweden. |

And it's still Esso in Europe. |

And if I'm not mistaken, Canada too. Here's another shot proving it's Esso. ![[Image: 315248-plan2.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0ge31/315248-plan2.jpg) FYI, in other parts of the US it was Enco, and Humble. |

Here in Argentina, too. Esso, but sold some products under the Exxon brand (lubricants, i think). |

I'm quite sure that both the tanktrailer and the cab was built by ASJ (Aktiebolaget Svenska Järnvägsverkstäderna). I haven't found any good info about the company in english, but I found an short article on swedish Wikipedia. http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svenska_J%C3%A4rnv%C3%A4gsverkst%C3%A4derna I've also found some pictures of buses built by ASJ. The front and grille looks very similar to the on above. http://i676.photobucket.com/albums/vv125/s025bb/b12gn0002Medium.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2582/4207069442_b016aeb752.jpg And another tanker: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5271/5904767241_14fcf60418_b.jpg About the chassis, I really don't know. Most likely Scania-Vabis or Volvo, but ASJ also built several tankers on Mercedes chassis. |

The cab design, glass areas, and other trim details are very similar so ASJ is correct I think, Pickos. As the similar tanker is badged 'ASJ' on the radiator I suggest we use ASJ (make) plus aircraft refueler (other info.) |
