1998 was a special year in Van den Bosch's history. It was the year that Peter followed in his father Ad’s footsteps. To celebrate this milestone, Ad had a special gift up his sleeve: an American Kenworth, now better known as Truck 500.
The handover from Ad to Peter didn’t go unnoticed. In the former industrial building on Franseweg in Erp, a big party was organised for business partners and employees, to coincide with the transport show. 'The 500' was unveiled during the opening ceremony. A personal gift from Ad to Peter, which symbolised his taking over the wheel of the company.
