Mark Graham has sent me these shots and says: "Brian,I've just been on holiday in a town south of Vienna called Moedling. The local direct services refuse team still use a number of Steyr vehicles for regular duties.I'm sure you're familiar with the classic angular Steyr cab, but I don't recall you having featured the badge-engineered MAN cab." Good call. Steyr was always a strong brand in Austria, so when MAN bought the company in the 90s it continued to provide a local 'Steyr grille' on MAN trucks sold in Austria as you can see here---funnily enough I always thought the 'Steyr' MAN tractor looked particularly attractive. If anyone has shots of it perhaps they'd send me some....I seem to recall they also badged some MAN's as OAF's too (another strong 'local brand. perhaps ''The Brochure King' has some stuff on OAF? Meanwhile, click through here for the tradtional wedge cab from Steyr... .

Mark continues: "Unfortunately there are now very few of the heavier Steyr lorries on haulage work any more, but these municipal vehicles are in a very good state due, probably because they are garaged at night (as well as benefiting from the friendly Austrian climate)".Thanks Mark, and of course the MAN takeover of Steyr also gave Munich a rather nice middleweight cab which they put to good use too....not least on ERFs!
Steyr with wedge cab and MAN cab lives on in Far East..to be more precise in China. Sino Truck still produce those truck, complete with wd615/wd618 HPCE engines produced by Weichai...
