The Berna 2VM is a 4x4 truck model that Berna (manufacturer of buses, trolleybuses and trucks), at Olten, from 1964 to 1976 in total 1600 pieces produced. The company Berna was in 1929 purchased by Adolph Saurer AG. T The Swiss Army used the Berna 2VM in several special versions, such as dump trucks, snow plow or tanker for aircraft or tanks. Almost identical was the model Saurer 2DM from the Adolph Saurer AG in Arbon. The Berna 2VM was also sold for civilian purposes. [1] One is on display at the Schweizerische Militärmuseum Full.
Berna was a Swiss manufacturer of buses, trolleybuses and trucks, which later also specialized in surface metallurgical treatments and components. Until the 1960s it was primarily a vehicle manufacturer, but between 1965 and 1978 vehicle manufacturing was phased out and replaced with other products. The company was based in Olten.
A trolleybus is an electric bus that draws power from overhead wires using spring-loaded trolley poles. Two wires and poles are required to complete the electrical circuit. This differs from a tram or streetcar, which normally uses the track as the return path, needing only one wire and one pole. They are also distinct from other kinds of electric buses, which usually rely on batteries. Power is most commonly supplied as 600-volt direct current, but there are exceptions.
A truck or lorry is a motor vehicle designed to transport cargo. Trucks vary greatly in size, power, and configuration; smaller varieties may be mechanically similar to some automobiles. Commercial trucks can be very large and powerful, and may be configured to mount specialized equipment, such as in the case of fire trucks, concrete mixers, and suction excavators.
