Jepsen & Fredsholm (Vognmandsfirmaet Jepsen & Fredsholm) is a collaboration between two hauliers: Hans Otto Fredsholm and Michael Jepsen. Basis is the company "Vognmandsfirmaet Hans Otto Fredsholm" (later with "& Søn" appended to the name), est. in 1994. Jepsen & Fredsholm was formed in 2016.

The truck liveries have been updated to reflect the name changes – photo(s) of this truck in the original livery exist and may get uploaded later.

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.
