Bought slightly used (plates retained), replaced XS91486 flic.kr/p/JgNoVt (a 2011 FH 460) in december 2014, although that truck wasn’t retired until march 2015.

May or may not have left the company in june 2017, but remains running (somewhere) on the same registration as always.

The name of the company is "T. Olsen Transport", but this is not used on the trucks. Look instead for "Torben Olsen" and the town name. Gedved, for positive id.

Going down the steep hill leading northeast into Aarhus. The motorway ends by Åhavevej in Viby. From here, the trucks can continue straight on to Marselis Boulevard across Skanderborgvej before ending at the port of Aarhus, 6 km from here.

Tip: to locate trucks of particular interest to you, check my collections page, "truck collection" (www.flickr.com/photos/lavulv/collections/72157684190396672/ ) – here you will find all trucks organized in albums, by haulier (with zip-codes), year, brand and country.

Retirement age for trucks: many used trucks are offered for sale on international markets. If sold to a foreign buyer, this will not be listed in the danish motor registry, so a "retired" truck may or may not have been exported. In other words, the "retirement age" only shows the age, at which the truck stopped running on danish license plates.
