Hobbytrain - LC4058 - Truck, MAN F90 - Haribo

Prototype History: In 1986 the production of a new heavy duty series F90 began. The trucks had GVW more than 18 tons and won the award "Truck of the Year 1987." The trucks were equipped with in-line 6-cylinder engines, turbocharged and intercooled, with power from 150 to 360 hp, front disc brakes, ABS, hypoid main gear and new planetary reduction gears. The cabs meet the new requirements for safety and ergonomics. Special version "Silent" has comfortable suspension of the cab and enhanced sound insulation.

Road Name History: Haribo made the first gummi candy in 1922 when Hans Riegel, Sr. invented the first Gummibärchen (little gummy bears). After Hans Riegel, Sr. died during World War II, his son, also named Hans Riegel, took over the company. Over the years, Haribo has expanded its operations, taking over many local confectionery manufacturers in countries all over the world. It began international expansion in the 1960s and entered American markets in the 1980s. It currently operates 1,000 factories which produce over 100 million gummy bears per day.

Haribo was accused of using Jewish forced labor in its factories during World War II, but denies this. In 2014, Haribo's Skipper Mix was pulled in some markets because some of the candy pieces were shaped like caricatures of Asian, African, and Native American masks that some consumers considered to be racist.
