Item description from seller

Sheet 75x48cm with map colour printed to both sides, folding down into colour title panels featuring Mercedes-Benz logo, overview route map, and photo of a large MB truck labouring its way through a dusty barren landscape. Cartography by Haupka & Co, printed by Taunusoffset, Badsoden / Taunus. Near fine, neatly folded. Dated March 1978, and untitled with no other references found. The overview map shows less extensive routes through Arabia, suggesting it may have been prepared to represent an earlier edition pre-dating the boom in economic activity in the Gulf states. It was published by Daimler Benz Central Customer Service for its commercial / haulage clients. Divided over two sides, the map is bounded by Munich (NW), Herat (NE), Muscat and Oman (SE), and Lake Nasser (SW) with no scale indicated. It shows a network of routes from Salzburg and Budapest to through Central Asia including to Herat in Afghanistan, Nok Kundi in Pakistan and beyond. And into the Levant and Arabian Peninsula with a long loop via Mecca and Jeddah, and links to the Gulf coast via the Levant or northern Saudi Arabia. The latter link up major locations along the Gulf including Kuwait, Dhahran, Doha, and the UAE as far as Ras al Khaimah, with a branch off to Muscat. With a key in 12 languages, details include transit roads with distances in km, highways with exits (distinguishing those under construction), national boundaries, distances, gradients, European highway numbers, MB bases for commercial vehicles, and supply depots. There are contact details for MB offices in Austria, Bulgaria, Greece, Hungary, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, and Yugoslavia, with users referred to the MB Service Station Register for additional addresses.…
