Whilst a private company, Van Gend en Loos was effectively the road collection and delivery service of Nederlandse Spoorwegen, with depots close to every major railway station. This fictional image was inspired by the cab-over-engine Ford tractor units used for container haulage (not the current ISO containers but an earlier, smaller type developed by NS for domestic use within the Netherlands). The excessive chrome trim is a consequence of the base image being of a preserved vehicle (26-Apr-24).
