Frequently asked questions
What exactly are Bruder construction toys?

Can you collect different Bruder vehicles and combine them?

All Bruder vehicles are made to the same 1:16 scale, and many have a standardised hitch system, allowing you to connect different trailers, plows, or accessories to various trucks and tractors.

The majority of Bruder toys do not come with batteries because they are primarily mechanical and designed for hands-on, imaginative play. However, there are some exceptions.

The toys that come with these modules, or the modules themselves when sold separately, do include batteries, typically of the AAA or LR44 type.
