Sobre IBD

From the rugged 'Deuce and a Half' trucks that powered Allied victory in World War II to today’s armored, autonomous, and hybrid fleets, Military Transport: From WWII to Today tells the untold story of the vehicles that made modern warfare possible. Drawing on over eight decades of history, it reveals how standardized trucks, convoys, and specialized haulers became the true backbone of armies across every major conflict.This comprehensive account explores the evolution of logistics vehicles in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Middle East, Afghanistan, and Ukraine, placing them alongside tanks, aircraft, and ships in their rightful role: essential enablers of strategy. It covers not just the machines themselves but the depots, bases, and global networks that sustain them, showing how logistics has quietly decided the fate of battles.Richly detailed and fact-driven, this book offers readers a global perspective on military trucks and transport systems from 1940 to 2025. It is both a tribute to the soldiers who drove them and a recognition of the enduring importance of mobility and supply in shaping twentieth- and twenty-first-century warfare.

    Etienne Psaila
    Geely’s rise is one of the defining industrial stories of the 21st-century car business-not because it followed the familiar path of a single brand climbing the ladder, but because it built modern automotive power the way the industry increasingly works: through platforms, capital, partnerships, and governance. From its beginnings in China’s reform-era private economy to its em...

    A battery company becoming a major automaker isn’t a catchy headline-it’s a blueprint for how the global car business is being rebuilt around electrification, supply security, and manufacturing scale. BYD’s rise tracks an industrial transformation that began in Shenzhen’s fast-moving, export-facing manufacturing economy and grew into one of the defining automotive stories of th...

    Etienne Psaila
    SAIC’s ascent is one of the defining industrial stories of modern China: a Shanghai-based state enterprise that learned to build at world scale by combining policy mandate, foreign partnership, and an unforgiving culture of mass production. This book follows that trajectory from the city’s early workshops and planned-economy production routines through the reform-era opening th...

    Lancia’s story is one of engineering audacity meeting industrial constraint. From Turin in 1906, the company built a reputation for doing things the difficult way on purpose-pioneering structural ideas, refining ride and handling when most rivals still chased simple durability, and repeatedly treating innovation as a core identity rather than a marketing layer.That same identit...

    McLaren Automotive didn’t inherit a century of road-car tradition-it built a modern supercar business almost from first principles, using racing discipline as its operating system and carbon fibre as its defining architecture. From the MP4-12C onward, McLaren set out to prove that extreme performance could be engineered into a repeatable, warrantied, global product: light, stif...

    Lotus has always been more than a marque; it’s been a methodology. Built in a Britain that prized ingenuity over abundance, the company turned constraint into an advantage-treating mass as the enemy, structure as an art, and steering feel as a non-negotiable. From the earliest 'specials' and kit-car pragmatism through the defining road cars that taught the industry what handlin...
