About Us
A history of innovation
Hope Technical Developments Ltd was founded in 1962 by Fred Hope. Fred is a passionate entrepreneur who, after the Second World War, started a haulage business running a fleet of AEC trucks.
Fred realised that there was a serious safety issue with the trucks in that under stress braking conditions they would jack knife dangerously causing potential injury to the driver, other road users and the goods in the truck. He set about designing a way to address this problem and created the worlds very first anti jack knife device for articulated trucks. The Hope Anti Jack Knife device was produced for over 30 years.
