16 USER REPORT SDP TOPICAL 1 Love at First Si ht A. L. J. M. van Huet Iives in Zevenaar in Holland and owns a transport firm. The town lies with good traffic connexions about four kilometres from the frontier between Germany and the Netherlands on the densely travelled motorway between Arnhem and the Ruhr District. He has specialised in the transport of glass, a lucrative business when you remember the number of glass-houses !hat there are in Holland alone. The particular aspect: "We are the only ones who can undertake window-glass transport without the expensive packing that is normally necessary", the company chief explains proudly. In addition van Huet operates for a transport firm which specialises in seed-deliveries. Every week to Munich and ltaly, as weil as daily to England. After a test run in winter van In the beginning there was just one Steyr lorry. Now a whole service industry has evolved. Huet bought his first Steyr, an articulated lorry. lt was love at first sight. What impressed the boss particularly: the Steyr lorry has an impressive 310 HP six-cylinder engine which uses a negligible amount of diesel oil. He has sufficient comparative examples: the van Huet stable includes 22 Renaults, Scanias and MANs. With Steyr travelling through Europe-night and day And as things so happened: Out of a single Steyr lorry there has developed a whole Steyr contract-workshop, with an illuminated sign on the street saying: "Steyr Trucks". Van Huet is also quite sure: "The next new acquisition will come from Steyr. But that I will buy myself because I am taking over the sales of these remarkable vehicles!".
