One of the very first modern models designed for the 80s generation, the
F12 truck was released in autumn of 1977 to replace the F89, launched
seven years earlier. These brand new cab-over vehicles were the end
product of the research that eventually led to the launch of the N
models in 1973. This was particularly true of the special high-strength
steel chassis and parts of the drive chain, which had also been
strengthened and improved. A series of aluminium tanks and parabolic
leaf springs were used to minimise the truck‘s weight and thus maximise
the payload. On board the F12 the driver benefited from excellent
conditions, which was necessary given the considerable distances
involved in international transit.
