Swiss TRUCK ICONS Parade - Old SAURER and BERNA Trucks meet in Sursee, Switzerland

Old, classic Swiss trucks, mostly Saurer and Berna trucks, met in Sursee (Switzerland) for their annual meeting. Saurer AG, formerly Adolph Saurer AG, is a Swiss manufacturer of textile machinery and vehicle transmissions founded in 1853 and based in Arbon. Between the 1920s and 1980s, Saurer was primarily known for the production of commercial vehicles, in particular trucks, buses, trolleybuses and military vehicles. In 1983, Saurer produced its last civilian truck. In 1929, Saurer became the majority partner of Berna, Switzerland's second major commercial vehicle manufacturer, although from the 1970s onwards the two brands offered largely identical vehicles that could practically only be distinguished by their names.
