Mostar was named after the extension attendants (mostari) who in the medieval circumstances protected the Stari Most (Old Bridge) over the Neretva. The Old Bridge, worked by the Ottomans in the sixteenth century, is one of Bosnia and Herzegovina's most conspicuous historic points, and is viewed as a standout amongst the most excellent bits of Islamic engineering in the Balkans.

Human settlements on the waterway Neretva, between the Hum Hill and the Velež Mountain, have existed since ancient times, as saw by revelations of braced enceintes and graveyards. Confirmation of Roman occupation was found underneath the present town.

To the extent medieval Mostar goes, in spite of the fact that the Christian basilicas generally relic stayed being used, couple of verifiable sources were protected and very little is thought about this period.

Since Mostar was on the exchange course between the Adriatic and the mineral-rich districts of focal Bosnia, the settlement started to spread to the correct bank of the waterway.

Preceding the 1474 the names of two towns show up in medieval authentic sources, alongside their later medieval regions and properties – the towns of Nebojša and Cimski graduate.

Later turning into the city's image, the Old Bridge is a standout amongst the most vital structures of the Ottoman time and maybe Bosnia's most unmistakable compositional piece, and was outlined by Mimar Hayruddin,[3] an understudy and student of the acclaimed Ottoman modeler Mimar Sinan.

Nova generacija Scania kamiona u januaru na bh. tržištu

Nova generacija Scania kamiona u januaru na bh. tržištu#ad-image-0
Scania BH d.o.o ove godine obilježava 125 godina postojanja kompanije.
Tim povodom, Scania je nedavno predstavila novu generaciju kamiona R serije i uvela novu S seriju, a novi kamion je kruna 10-godišnjeg razvoja i ulaganja od dvije milijarde eura.
Sa novom serijom kamiona priliku da se upoznaju imali si u posjetitelji sajma RENEXPO, na kojem se Scania BH predstavila i ove godine.
“Serija S predstavlja potpuno nova kabina sa ravnim podom što naši kupci do sada nisu imali prilike da vide kada je konkretno Scania u pitanju i predstavlja novitet koji redefiniše kamionski svijet”, kazao je  Dejan Koleška, direktor Scania BH d.o.o. za portal Akta.ba, dodajući da su unaprijeđena aerodinamika te optimirani motori rezultirali ne samo sjajnim kamionom, već i s 5% manjom potrošnjom goriva što konkurencija neće lako dostići.
Ističe da je svjetska prezentacija kamiona bila u augustu, te da su sa kupcima posjetili fabriku u septembru.
“Prve narudžbe su već stigle, a isporuka se očekuje u januaru iduće godine”, potvrdio je on za naš portal.
Naglašava da su brojne mogućnosti novog kamiona, te da Scania najavljuje i brojne usluge, namijenjene optimizaciji, ekonomičnosti i zaštiti okoliša.
Kada je u pitanju održivost u transportu i trend smanjenja emisije štetnih gasova, odnosno CO2, Scania tu ima vodeću poziciju..
Ističe da se tu ne misli samo na alternativni pogon, već i na energetsku efikasnost vozila, način korištenja tih vozila, trening vozača i svim onim drugim načinima koji doprinose smanjenu zagađena naše okoline.
“Tako ćemo ispred Scanie predstaviti vozila sa alternativnim gorivima kao što su H2O, biodizel, LPG itd. Ono što je također trend koji pratimo u cilju korištenja vozila je “plateauing”, zatim vozila koja koriste kombinovani pogon tzv. hibridi. Pored obuke vozača i povećanja efikasnosti tih vozača, dalji trendovi su vezani za autonomna vozila, odnosno da kamioni voze samostalno bez vozača. To smo dokazali na određenim rudnicima i površinskim kopovima gdje vozila, sa određenim unaprijed unesenim rutama, samostalno rade bez vozača”, pojašnjava Koleška.
Iz ove kompanije naglašavaju da se danas proizvođači ne oslanjaju samo na pogonski sklop, već i na ostale proizvode i sisteme kojim obilježavaju savremeni transport.
Scania BH d.o.o. posluje u Bosni i Hercegovini od 2000. godine. Organizovani su kroz servisne centre u Sarajevu i Banjoj Luci i nude kompletnu paletu proizvoda od teških kamiona za međunarodni transport, lokalnu distribuciju, građevinu i specijalne namjene, do gradskih i međugradskih autobusa kao i industrijskih i brodskih motora.

Prevoz kakav još niste videli!

Kada imate puno stvari koje treba da prevezete od mesta A do mesta B, potrebno je pozvati specijalizovane službe koje se time bave. Ovaj čovek odlučio je da preuzme stvar u svoje ruke, a oni što vidimo na fotografijama zaista izgleda zastrašujuće…
On je na platformu prvog kamiona natovario jedan manji kamion, a zatim na njega još jedan manji. To nije kraj, jer je na manji kamion stavio pick-up, a u pick-upu još jedno iznenađenje – motocikl.
Problem je, što bi jedan oštriji manevar značio da vozila spadnu dole sa kamiona, ali to se ne događa. Još jedno pitanje je, kako su ova vozila dospela na kamion. Izvor: novosti-glox.blogspot.ba
