EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of early petroleum transportation in the 1910s, as an Early Vulcan petrol tanker makes its delivery to a BP fuel station. The Vulcan tanker, with its distinctive solid rubber wheels and large fuel tanks, was a common sight on the roads during this era, playing a crucial role in the distribution of motor fuel to an ever-growing number of automobiles. The image showcases the tanker's robust design, with its sturdy frame and large fuel tanks, which were essential for safely transporting and delivering large quantities of petroleum products. The tanker's driver, dressed in a smart uniform, is seen carefully maneuvering the vehicle, ensuring a precise delivery to the fuel pump. BP, or British Petroleum, was a leading player in the global petroleum industry during this time, and its brand was synonymous with quality and reliability. The company's logo, featuring the iconic shield and the initials BP, can be seen prominently on the fuel pumps and the delivery truck. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era of innovation and progress, where the demand for motor fuel was rapidly increasing, and the transportation industry was undergoing a significant transformation. The Early Vulcan petrol tanker and its delivery to a BP fuel station serve as a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the people who made it possible to power the world's vehicles and keep them moving.
