The Renault Novaquatre with wood gasifier is a special version of the Renault Novaquatre, which was originally launched in France in the 1930s as a compact, reliable passenger car. During World War II, when gasoline was scarce, many vehicles were equipped with wood gasifiers, which used wood as fuel to create a gas mixture for engine combustion. The Renault Novaquatre was retrofitted with such a wood gasifier, making it an important vehicle for civilian mobility during and after the war. These conversions were often bulky and required more maintenance, but they allowed the vehicle to operate even during times of fuel shortages.

The Krupp Tiger L8 TG5 is a heavy-duty truck from the 1950s, manufactured by the German company Krupp, which was known for its robust commercial vehicles. The L8 TG5, also called the "Tiger," belongs to the long-nose class and was developed for heavy-duty freight transport. It is powered by a powerful eight-cylinder diesel engine, valued for its durability and impressive pulling power. With a striking, robust design and high load capacity, the Krupp Tiger L8 TG5 was particularly popular with construction and transport companies and is now considered a classic in German commercial vehicle history.
