Herpa - 066082 - Tractor-Trailer, Modern - Willi Betz

Prototype History: A semi-trailer truck (more commonly semi truck or simply "semi") is the combination of a tractor unit and one or more semi-trailers to carry freight. A semi-trailer attaches to the tractor with a fifth-wheel coupling (hitch), with much of its weight borne by the tractor. The result is that both the tractor and semi-trailer will have a distinctly different design than a rigid truck and trailer.

Road Name History: The Internationale Spedition Willi Betz GmbH& Co. KG was founded in 1945 by 17-year-old Willi Betz (5 December 1927 – 12 December 2015) in Undingen, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany.
