Italian term

Segnare un'epoca

Italian to English Other Automotive / Cars & Trucks
Il Fiat 682 è stato uno dei gloriosi autocarri che hanno scritto la storia italiana (e non solo) del trasporto su gomma e che hanno segnato un’epoca, sia per la casa costruttrice, sia per tutto il mondo legato alla componentistica ed al comparto riparativo-assistenziale dei veicoli pesanti.

Thanks.
