Welcome to the WikiProject Trucks. This is a WikiProject to improve articles on trucks, truckparts and truck manufacturers. Please feel free to edit this page, but I think discussions should be kept on the talk page of this project.

Goals

The purpose of this WikiProject is to co-ordinate articles on light, medium and heavy trucks. It aims to improve the coverage of manufacturers and models, and to make articles on trucks uniform and informative.

Scope

This project proposes to work with all pages related to the type of road or off-road vehicle commonly known as truck or lorry.

  • Rotten Stone (vintage Volvo and Scania)
  • Kieran T (talk | contribs) (chiefly older UK, especially Rootes-related)
  • FabioTalk Definitely agree, there needs to be a more uniform article structure on trucks and i think a project may accomplish this.
  • G®iffen (Semi-participating. Basics om new European models, truck purposes, finding suitable pictures, translating from Scandinavian + eventually German texts)
  • Hasannur OK, I'm interested and willing to help

  • Tepoo (I'll probably be semi-participant like G®iffen but I definately agree there should be better consistency amongst lorry related articles. Interested about truck manufacturers from Northern Europe and on more general view keeping articles well formed.)

  • Dionysus_ab I'll try to help. Trucking experience in Europe, N. Africa and N. America; not much experience on Wikipedia, though.
  • VWphaetonfan VW Enthusiast, I created the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles page and am a lover of all things VW be it small cars to large trucks.
  • Duncan1800 I like lots of different trucks, but I'm based in the USA which limits me somewhat. I do agree about the need for consistency among truck articles and will do what I can to help fix it.
  • Truck driver from the USA, 3 years experience. I train new drivers so I have lots of knowledge of truck regulaions and whatnot. Doing what I can to improve old articles and create new ones. ErgoSum88 (talk) 10:11, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Stonufka I'm in, mainly into Tatra and Volvo.
  • Whitfan I'll go in as a semi-participant. Caterpillar and Western Star are my specialty, and anything to do with the Australian industry. (Road Trains FTW!)
