[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [French]
Funny but not for everyone, of course, I really hope that the owner was insured against the fire for his truck!

But it is as a way of recalling as during the war 1940-1945 in Europe, in consequence of the shortage of fuel, many vehicles were transformed to be able to run on combustion gas of wood, according to the system of the Imbert gas generator, the name of its inventor.

You will find ici/here a schema operation, for those which would be more interested, a simple research on Google will get hours of reading to them.

In addition, the system seems to go back to the style of the day and could become an alternative to oil in the countries having abundant wood resources, coal, peat...

the front of the truck looks like a monster :) very cool
guess he was lucky the wood at the back did not catch fire too :P

Ils ont sauvé le bois et c'est l'essentiel.
Une bonne idée très amusante de photo et une évocation du gazogène qui va bien avec l'accident.
Bravo
