For Simon Lundman, trucks are more than a livelihood \u2013 they\u2019re heritage, passion, and a way to honor family history. As the owner of Lundmans Djurtransporter, Simon carries forward the company his father once built. Eleven years after taking over the business, he not only runs the daily operations but has also made a name for himself through social media, truck shows and his role in the TV-show Svenska Truckers<\/em>.<\/h6>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Now, Simon has finished his newest project: bringing back to life the Scania Longline his father built in 1996. \u201cIt\u2019s a tribute to my dad and the truck that was the pride of our company<\/em>“, Simon says.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cThis built is for my dad”, Simon says about Lundmans Oldtimer.<\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The project consumed countless hours \u2013 seven months filled with, as Simon puts it, \u201cblood, sweat, and tears,\u201d with up to 17 people working on it at once. The result is nothing short of spectacular. The truck, named Lundmans Oldtimer<\/strong>, is finished in black paint with red flakes, topped with 18 layers of clear coat \u2013 a total of 376 liters used to create its deep, gleaming finish.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Lighting plays a central role in Simon\u2019s vision. His Oldtimer is equipped with six Olympus Driving Lights<\/a><\/strong>, mounted low on the front for a bold, old-school look.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n


\u201cOlympus has such a clean, powerful look \u2013 exactly what I wanted for the truck\u2019s front.\u201d<\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The choice wasn\u2019t just about aesthetics. \u201cOlympus gives a really strong light in the autumn and winter darkness,\u201d he says. \u201cThey have a stylish design that fits perfectly with the build \u2013 and the light performance is incredible.\u201d<\/em> Olympus delivers a powerful beam reaching 844 meters at 1 lux and 12 400 lumens in boost mode, ensuring Simon\u2019s truck has both style and outstanding visibility on the road.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cThey look great, they shine great \u2013 and they\u2019re worth every penny. Buy Olympus for your own truck \u2013 they\u2019re powerful, well-designed and you won\u2019t regret it.\u201d<\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Simon has been hands-on with every part of the build. Along the sides and at the rear, BriodLights position lamps<\/a><\/strong> stretch the full length of the truck, seamlessly integrated into the design. Where the truck once had gaps, Simon welded everything shut, ensuring the lamps fit perfectly into place.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

At the back, the finishing touch comes with twelve Fristom round rear lights with black rings<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 six on each side. \u201cThey\u2019re really something special,\u201d Simon explains. \u201cThe black rings tie in perfectly with the rest of the truck\u2019s look.”<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Scania Longline has already covered 2 680 000 km kilometers in its lifetime, but this rebuild isn\u2019t just about keeping it on the road \u2013 it\u2019s about preserving a legacy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Along the sides and at the rear, BriodLights LED position lights covers the full length of the truck and integrates seamlessy into the design. Built with durable PC lenses and approved to E9 standards, these position lamps deliver strong yellow light while offering both flat and tube-mount options.<\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
At the back, Simon has mounted twelve Fristom round LED rear lamps with black rings \u2013 six on each side. Robust and E-approved, they combine position, brake and indicator functions in a compact design.<\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cThey\u2019re really great,\u201d Simon explains. \u201cThe black rings tie in perfectly with the rest of the truck\u2019s look.”<\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
