A troubled truck driving past a troubled construction site... first registered in november 2008, it's first ownership only lasted 1½ month. After two months without plates it came to Frode Laursen in february '09. This company does, however, rarely hold on to their trucks for too long, so in april 2013 it was retired. One month later, a new life and new plates, but once again it was short-lived, only 4 months, and then it was all over... the truck never hit the road again, at least not on danish plates.

The construction site? That's Navitas (lots of photos of it in my Flickr albums) a prestige project for esteemed danish company Pihl (estb. 1887), but in august 2013 they went bankrupt, bringing all their projects to a halt. Navitas DID get finished by a new contractor after some considerable delays.

The colour scheme is highly unusual for a Frode Laursen truck, no doubt it was in herited from the first owner.


Retirement age for trucks (also valid for construction equipment): 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.
