FORD Truck History
The Ford brand was made famous not only for cars, but also for numerous pick-up trucks, light vans and trucks. The history of the automobile plant FORD begins in 1896, when the famous inventor and entrepreneur Henry Ford built one of the world's first cars in the world.
Soon after the founding of the Ford company in June 1903, small vans for 300-400 kilograms of cargo appeared on the chassis of cars. The first was a van on the chassis "C", manufactured in October 1904. The launch of special "E" vans with a 10-horsepower motor from the "F" passenger car model began the following year. An important event in the history of Ford is considered July 27, 1917, when the first "real" truck "Ford TT" appeared, the assembly of which began side by side with the passenger cars "T".
In the years 1949-50, gamma was replenished with 1-ton all-metal wagons "F3" and variants "F5 SOE" and "F6 SOE" half-hood layout. In 1951-52 all cars received a wider front lining, double windshield wipers and a sealed ignition system, the glazing area was increased 1.5 times. In 1952, they first appeared in the top-hat 6-cylinder 3.5-liter engine, and a gamut of power units included engines with a working volume of 2.2-5.5 liters with a capacity of 101-155 hp.
By 1959 the Ford freight program was finally formed, which included 30 basic models and 370 versions of them with a total mass of 2.1-23.1 tons (in the structure of road trains - up to 34 tons), divided into five main groups: full-size pick-ups (models from "F100" to "F350"), no-hood vans (from "P350" to "P600"), two-axle hood trucks (from "F500" to "F1100") and standardized with them boneless (from "C550" to " C1100 "), as well as 3-axle trucks and tractors (from" T700 "to" T950 ") 6 × 2/6 × 4.
Diesel models "L-9000" (4 × 2) and "LT-9000" (6 × 4) became the first "real" trunk tractor with a high sleeping compartment and fairing on the roof of the cabin, and the model "LNT-8000" with a shortened hood served by local transportation. The new machines used frames of high-strength steel, hypoid main gear, 2-circuit pneumatic braking system, front shock absorbers and cabins with anti-corrosion protection. At the same time, they produced medium-duty camouflaged trucks "C7000" and "C8000" and main tractors of the "W-9000" series with an upgraded cab above the engine.
The "LTL-9000" truck tractor, upgraded in 1981, with an engine capacity of up to 435 hp successfully competed with the products of other companies, and in the range of medium-sized trucks the models "F600" and "F750" achieved the greatest success on the market. The first major changes were observed in 1988 with the appearance of a new series of trunk hood tractors "A" or Aeromax, which included 2 and 3 axle models "LA-9000" and "LTA-9000" with a streamlined cabin for working as a part of a full train with a mass of 36-37.2 tons. In 1996, their development was the model "LTA-3500 Aeromax" (6 × 4) with 470-horsepower engine "Detroit Diesel", 13-speed gearbox "Eaton" and rear air suspension.
Vans Econoline (models from E150 to E450) with a payload of 600-1800 kilograms and trucks of the new Super Duty series, which were updated models from F250 to F750 (4 × 2/4 × 4 ) with a gross mass of 4-15 tons, as well as the cargo-passenger version of the Canadian Windsor are offered as vans and do not differ in driving performance and comfort from cars. The corporation "Ford" at the end of the 20th century was considered the world's largest manufacturer of vehicles for the transport of goods. In 1999, its plants produced over 3.1 million trucks and buses.
