The Yanmar Pony – A Driving Force in Innovation In the late 1950s, Yanmar embarked on a bold journey into vehicle manufacturing with the development of the Yanmar Pony — a compact, diesel-powered light truck built entirely in-house. Equipped with a rear-mounted diesel engine that could also serve as a portable power source for farming and construction, the Pony combined utility with innovation in a way that was ahead of its time. The project culminated in the launch of the KYT model, featuring increased horsepower and improved load capacity. While Yanmar eventually exited the vehicle business, the technologies and expertise gained from this venture became the foundation for a new chapter: the development of tractors. At Yanmar, no innovation is ever wasted — it evolves. 🚜 Learn more about Yanmar's history: https://lnkd.in/ePUkkzvi #Yanmar #YanmarPony #InnovationHistory #DieselEngineering #Agritech #MobilityLegacy #ThrowbackThursday #EngineeringExcellence

MAN Truck & Bus with good sales performance in 2025: In the third quarter alone, unit sales rose by 24% to 24,600 units. In particular demand for buses and vans remained strong, contributing to the overall positive trend. However, the European truck market continues to show relatively low demand levels – in Germany, for example, comparable to the pandemic period. In total, MAN sold 71,700 vehicles in the first nine months of 2025 – a 4% increase compared to the same period last year. Particularly encouraging: MAN is gaining momentum in electromobility. With 1,090 fully electric buses and trucks sold in the first nine months, the company achieved a remarkable 184% increase year-over-year. For the first time, MAN surpassed the 1,000-unit mark for electric buses and trucks within a single year. #CommercialVehicles #Electromobility #SustainableTransport #TruckIndustry #BusIndustry #VanSales #ElectricTrucks #ElectricBuses #MobilityInnovation #TRATONGroup #MANTruckAndBus #Q3Results

🚛➝🚂 When a truck trailer becomes a rail wagon. In the 1960s, a bold idea emerged – attach road trailers directly to rail bogies and create the “RoadRailer.” The goal was to combine the flexibility of trucking with the efficiency of rail, without flatcars or cranes. The concept was tested in several countries – from the UK to the United States and even Australia. Its greatest success came in the U.S., where Triple Crown Services (Norfolk Southern) operated RoadRailer trains for decades, until 2024. Why didn’t it spread more widely? 👉 The trailers were heavy, offered lower capacity than containers, and the rise of intermodal container transporteventually proved far more efficient. 📌 Today, the RoadRailer remains more of a curiosity in rail history – a reminder of how road and rail once tried to merge into a single seamless system. Do you think a concept like this could find new life in modern logistics? 📽️ The video from Britain shows how RoadRailers were once tested and operated: @britishpathe #RailwayHistory #Intermodal #Logistics #Innovation
