Hogra History:

After the end of the Second World War, the Netherlands emerged beaten from the battle and slowly recovered in the 1950s. These years were characterized by simplicity and hard work to restore our country. There was a shortage of materials and, as a result, of equipment. Well into the 1950s, the truck fleet consisted mainly of outdated equipment from military depots, massively rebuilt and kept running for civilian purposes.

In the early 1950s, Mr. W.A. Hoek saw a growing demand for heavy-duty trucks, which were difficult or impossible to deliver. He saw an opportunity to build a self-made truck based on market demand at the lowest possible price that could offer maximum performance to the user.
However, Mr. van Hoek lacked the required capital. When he came into contact with a wealthy widow, Mrs. Gravelaar, who was willing to provide the necessary start-up capital, the new truck brand "HOGRA," formed from the initials of both individuals, became a reality.
In 1954, production of the first units began in a former dairy factory in Ravenstein.

The Hogra factory was a typical assembly plant. All necessary parts, except for the electrical wiring harness, were purchased from third parties and assembled in Ravenstein into a rolling chassis with grille, hood, dashboard, and front fenders, but without the cab and bodywork. At that time, it was common for a truck to leave the factory as a rolling chassis and then be equipped with a cab and bodywork by a bodybuilder of the buyer’s choice. In those days, well-known bodybuilders included Paul & van Weelde and Buca, as well as numerous local body shops.

The chassis, leaf springs, and sheet metal of the Hogra were produced in the Netherlands, the engine was purchased from English Perkins and later Austrian Steyr. The two types that Hogra built in its short existence derive their model designation from the engine installed. The H7-P6 type was equipped with a Perkins P6 diesel engine with 83 hp. The H7-S100 type and later the H10 S-100 were powered by a Steyr engine with 100 hp. The 7 in the model designation indicates the gross payload capacity of 7 tons. The H7 models were designed as 2-axle 4x2 chassis, with only a few 2-axle 4x4 chassis made. Beginning in 1957, the H10 model was introduced as a 3-axle 6x2 chassis, with a longitudinal axle allowing for a gross load capacity of up to 10 tons. From the late 1950s, competition in the truck market became increasingly fierce. Hogra stuck to the bonneted front, and with its outdated technology, the company could not keep pace with the emergence of more modern cab-over-engine designs offering higher payload and better performance. By 1958, the company was in dire straits and scaled back. The curtain fell on this Dutch truck brand, which had existed for only a short time from 1954 to 1961, finally in 1961, after Kromhout had already disappeared from the market, having produced around 130 units, almost all of which were sold exclusively in the Netherlands.
