Hemmingsen), Vordingborg (DK) Fleet No.: - Nickname: - License plates: XN92360 (jan. 2011-nov.. 2015) Previous reg.: RP93752 (sep. 2000.jan. 2011) Later reg.: n/a Retirement age: 15 y 1 mo Photo location: Marselis Boulevard, near Hans Broges Gade, Aarhus, DK

Under normal circumstances, I would not have used this photo because of the poor quality, but I think it deserves to be included because of the truck and company... Hemmingsen Transport is one of very few to have used bonneted trucks in recent years, and this aging Scania is another example of the nostalgic vein. It's very rare to see a 15 year-old truck doing regular service, and even more so in this condition. For truckspotters it's a joy to behold, and as much as I love the new trucks, I really do appreciate a few old ones still being around.

Please note, that it doesn't say "Hemmingsen Transport" anywhere on the truck, instead you'll find the names "J.R. Hemmingsen" and "Jørgen Hemmingsen" - another key to identification is the phone number on the doors - if it says "55 34 54 66", it's from Hemmingsen Transport.

Tip: to locate trucks of particular interest to you, check my collections page, "truck collection" - here you will find all trucks organized in albums, by haulier (with zip-codes), year, brand and country.

Retirement age for trucks: many used trucks are offered for sale on international markets. If sold to a foreign buyer, this will not be listed in the danish motor registry, so a "retired" truck may or may not have been exported. In other words, the "retirement age" only shows the age, at which the truck stopped running on danish license plates.
