ASG trucks in Borås and Ulricehamn June 1992

[Montfrooij]

In June 1992 we were on holiday in Sweden and of course found some time to document the ASG company here.

We start in Borås at the ASG terminal where we see the tracks going into the warehouse. Even back then they were not used very often, although Borås did have three wagons (Litt G), one of them was recently ‘updated’ to a little bar.
We also see a Hasse Svensson truck passing by.

After that we move to Rud Johansson Åkeri in Borås, where there were a lot of very nice trucks on the site.
The next location is Ulricehamn, were we were camping. Here we must have looked funny filming all the ASG trucks, making them sound their horn.

Next we move to Borås again, where we see a VWB truck (among others) and then we get back to our nice spot opposite to the campsite where we see a MAN ASG passing by.

In search for the Hasse Svensson potatoe trucks, we, by accident, caught one driving into the shed where it was loaded with potatoes.
Nice to see all the Åkeri’s and their specific paint schemes.
Hasse Svensson, for example, used to have a blue beam on the closed white hangers, its own logo on the doors of the truck and on the back side of the hanger (where ASG wanted to have their logo instead).
