Three truck-trailer combinations cross the screen within 30 seconds of footage. This is the second and the only one going right to left; also the only one with front seen, which is recognisanbly Volvo. Local assembly?![[Image: 01-10trucktrailerbrto4volvo.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/01-10trucktrailerbrto4volvo.jpg) ![[Image: 01-10trucktrailerbrtol.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/01-10trucktrailerbrtol.jpg) ![[Image: 01-10trucktrailerbrtol2.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/01-10trucktrailerbrtol2.jpg) |

As all three truck-trailer combinations which cross the screen within 30 seconds of footage have been identified as Volvo F88 by nzcarnerd, I'm merging the pages. This is the first at 00:00:58 and goes left to right - there is no front view, but tail shown below as the Dino pulls out. ![[Image: 00-58trucktrailera.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/00-58trucktrailera.jpg) ![[Image: 00-58trucktrailera3.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/00-58trucktrailera3.jpg) ![[Image: 00-58trucktrailera2.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/00-58trucktrailera2.jpg) ![[Image: 00-58trucktrailera4.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/00-58trucktrailera4.jpg) ![[Image: 00-58trucktrailera5.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/00-58trucktrailera5.jpg) This is the third at 00:01:24 and goes left to right after the Dino has disappeared. There is no front view. ![[Image: 01-24trucktrailerc.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/01-24trucktrailerc.jpg) ![[Image: 01-24trucktrailerc2.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/01-24trucktrailerc2.jpg) ![[Image: 01-24trucktrailerc5.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/01-24trucktrailerc5.jpg) ![[Image: 01-24trucktrailerc6.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/01-24trucktrailerc6.jpg) ![[Image: 01-24trucktrailerc7.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/01-24trucktrailerc7.jpg) |

I'm sorry, but I don't believe this is a F88, but a GB 88. If one compare with an ordinary F88 http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Volvo_F88-49T_Truck_1966_2.jpg the F88 has the cab entrance mounted in front of the front axle while the G88 has the cab mounted slightly forward and thus forced the entrance to be behind the rear axle. The F normaly means a COE (cab over engine) model, but with only two axles. An additional B means a tandem rear axle. That is a Volvo GB 88. http://www.smcars.net/forums/volvo/3827-volvo-g88.html , http://www.hcvc.com.au/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1255170092 and http://www.commercialmotor.com/big-lorry-blog/venerable-aussie-volvo-g88-fro . |

Not my territory, but zodiac's argument looks good to me for main at least and brings in Aus assembly references - anything known for NZ? Any possibility the other 2 are still F88s? The livery looks similar and the way the scene runs they could be 2 tricks from the same firm running close together or possibly - due to film-maker magic - the same truck passing twice. Or am I missing obvious differences? Underlying question - if main goes to GB 88, should there be an F88 page for either or both of the green ones? |

As far as I can see, all the HGV's are GB 88. The reason why I know this is because I was immensely interested in HGV's when I grown up, and I had this one Link to "gallery.kuukuna.net" as one of my favourites. Times flies... |
