Hello truckfans in Romania,
My name is Gerlof and I live in Holland. I'll write in English, because I don't speak Romanian. I'm sorry about that.

I'm doing research for a book about the History of Mack trucks in Europe, which I'm working on. I hope that you can help me with information and pictures of Mack trucks in Romania and from possible importers of Mack in Romania. I know that the first Mack trucks came to Romania in 1939. They were of the E model and were imported by N. Butculescu. Then in 1947 The War Relief Program ordered some other E model Mack trucks. I don't know if there are Mack trucks at the moment in Romania? Any information is welcome and I hope you can help me!
Regards,
Gerlof

Salut, camioanele din Romania,
Numele meu este Gerlof și eu locuiesc în Olanda. Voi scrie în limba engleză, pentru că nu vorbesc limba română. Îmi pare rău.

Fac cercetări pentru o carte despre istoria camioanelor Mack în Europa, pe care lucrez. Sper sa ma poti ajuta cu informatii si poze cu camioanele Mack din Romania si de posibili importatori ai lui Mack in Romania. Știu că primele camioane Mack au venit în România în 1939. Au fost de modelul E și au fost importate de N. Butculescu. Apoi, în 1947, programul de salvare a războiului a ordonat și alte camioane Mack de tip E. Nu știu dacă există camioane Mack în prezent în România? Orice informație este binevenită și sper că mă poți ajuta!
Salutari,
Gerlof

Hi Gerlof

Our forum is mostly focused on public transportation and infrastructure, trucks are more of a side-subject for us, so I don't know how many people are here that might have that in-depth insight regarding your question. But who knows, maybe you get lucky. Good luck!

Hi Costin,
Thank you for your reaction. Maybe there's someone who knows something. Do you think there are other forums specially focussed on trucks?
Regards, Gerlof

American trucks are very rare in Romania, we only get them for a specialised role, maybe check through the oil companies, I see that Schlumberger has a lot of Peterbilt in Romania (also seems to have used some International in the past) https://www.slb.com/~/media/Files/ipm/b ... rvices.pdf

Hi Shoppy,
I remember those International trucks very well, as they also worked in Holland. Do you know if there's some special forum or website to get information about the modern US trucks in Romania, as well as the old trucks in Romania? I don't know if there are many collectors in Romania?
Regards, Gerlof

Hi Gerlof!
I don’t know any specific trucks forums in Romania,but who knows,someone might help you...About the collectors,these kind of people are very rare in our country especially in trucks.However,there are some bus collectors,but this is not important in your problem.
Best regards,
Albert

This guy has a truck blog, maybe he knows more: https://infocamioane.ro/ .

Hi Albert and Shoppy,
Thank you for the information. I will check the forum. Who knows something comes out. Or maybe on this forum as well.
Regards, Gerlof
