The name of the PL20 indicated that it was a 2-ton payload truck. This truck was launched before WWII, but Hotchkiss updated it and started to produce it in 1946. Later, it was renamed PL25, then PL50. Originally, Hotchkiss was an American brand of weaponry, and was naturalized French in 1903. Eligor placed a figurine into the box of this coal truck version.

The American brand of weaponry was naturalized French in 1903, and was mainly known for truck production. The career of the PL20 started in 1946, based on a model first launched in 1937, then updated. Here we have a tipping-trailer garbage truck of the City of Paris, with plates using the new French official registration system enacted in 1950.

The American brand of weaponry became French in 1903. Hotchkiss was known for its automobile production but, above all, trucks. The production of the PL20 started in 1946 but the model had actually been first launched in 1937, and then was updated. Here we have a reproduction in 1:43 scale of a 1946 truck belonging to the French Army in Niger, which became independent in 1958.
