Hello Guys,
Found my car on page 11 and thought to send an update and greetings from Sweden :slight_smile:
I have been driven this truck since 2006.


This happened to me 2007. I hit a lamppost in Kalmar, which result in new paint work and the text disappeared


2009

This is the newest picture. I got the new Scania R-series DRL and visior lamp. Got 50W xenon lamp beside the DRL. The original head lamp have been replaced with clear head lamps.

Hi Guys, fist:Everyone an Cool, Fat, Healthy NEW YEAR 2012.

Hello BerraGson,

Good that you find this Forum and the trent about Frans Maas. I was driver by Frans Maas Groningen and
was plenty of times in Sweden for Frans Maas. That was before DSV take Frans Maas over. I belive you
are still pulling for DSV and have the name Frans Maas still on your truck?

I get this photo from someone in Sweden and it is also your truck on the way in Sweden.

Best regards, Bert

Yes I’m still pulling for DSV and still got the Frans Maas text on the side. When I hit the lamppost it was supposed to the text on the side would be replaced with the DSV, or just be blue and retain Frans Maas globe as a memory. But it should cost a lot to do this so we decided to keep it but we will never put a text in the front.
As in earlier photo I got a black sign in front with my name “Berra Gson” which I replaced.
Many companies I came too started to talk english with me so I changed the text to “Limmared” with reflex, and they stopped talk english to me and friends easier saw me.
Of my boss three trucks there is just two left of this one. My mother crashed their truck 2009 and now they drive a black R500 without a backpacker.
This photo I remember :stuck_out_tongue: I found that motorcycle nice and saw the photographer on a bridge in south Sweden (outside Helsingborg I think). Really nice photo :slight_smile:
I really like my truck and hope to drive this as long as my boss keep it. Still trucking :slight_smile:

it’s a good looking truck. I saw it 2 years ago, somewhere north of Malmo, but I couldn’t get my camera in time to take a photo.

Hi BerrGson and Dieselcowboy,

It is indeed an nice looking truck and i hope you can still plenty of time to drive it. Make some
more photos of this truck. Mayby possible with an Frans Maas trailer behind the tractor and
place it here.
I think i now the place where that photo was taken. I belive it was between Helsingborg and
and where you go to the right till Stockholm on the motorway E4.

I have an photo taken by the terminal of Frans Maas Gotenborg, Transportgarten, on the backside where we change
the trailers.

Regards, Bert

That must be before my time. I think it was when Mattias was driving. He quit few month before me.
Do you know when this photo was taken?

Hi BerrGson,

I belive it was in 2005 of 2006. In 2007 the lagers and the office was sold of rent to the Swedish Post.
DFDS/DSV had an new terminal and closed the terminal on the Transportgarten.


The DSV terminal at Gotenborg, Sweden.

Best regards, Bert

Oh yes. DSV, Tuve.
That’s where I park my beauty every Friday, and its a good place to stay at night.
The only thing is that you need to drive a few kilometers if you want to eat something.
Not as when it was “down town” on Frans Maas time, when you could walk.
