The Vandals were an East Germanic tribe, or group of tribes, who were first heard of in southern Poland, but later moved around Europe establishing kingdoms in Spain and later North Africa in the 5th century.
The Vandals are believed to have migrated from southern Scandinavia to the area between the lower Oder and Vistula rivers during the 2nd century BC and to have settled in Silesia from around 120 BC. They are associated with the Przeworsk culture and were possibly the same people as the Lugii. Expanding into Dacia during the Marcomannic Wars and to Pannonia during the Crisis of the Third Century, the Vandals were confined to Pannonia by the Goths around 330 AD, where they received permission to settle by Constantine the Great. Around 400 the Vandals were pushed westwards again, this time by the Huns, crossing the Rhine into Gaul along with other tribes in 406. In 409, the Vandals crossed the Pyrenees into the Iberian Peninsula, where their main groups, the Hasdingi and the Silingi, settled in Gallaecia and Baetica respectively.
Vandal was a river tanker designed by Karl Hagelin and Johny Johnson for Branobel. Russian Vandal and French Petite-Pierre, launched in 1903, were the world's first diesel-powered ships (sources disagree over which of the two, Vandal or Petite-Pierre, was the first). Vandal was the first equipped with fully functional diesel-electric transmission.
In the 1890s oil industry searched for an economical oil-burning engine, and the solution was found by German engineer Rudolph Diesel. Diesel marketed his technology to oil barons around the world; in February 1898 he granted exclusive licenses to build his engines in Sweden and Russia to Emanuel Nobel of the Nobel family. The Russian licence cost Nobel 800,000 marks in cash and stock of the newly founded Russian Diesel Company. The Saint Petersburg engine plant was a quick success; it started with diesel-powered industrial pumps for oil pipelines and soon grabbed the mass market for flour mill engines. It produced more diesel engines than any other concern in the world.

Hey cowboy, where did you get the clothes you wear
Hey cowboy, where did you get the funny hair
What are you doing in the land of the midnight sun 'cause you better run
you're just a toy cowboy
I may not look right but I sure do feel fine
you hang around me and I'll undo your mind
Hey cowboy, where did you get the funny walk
Hey cowboy, where did you get the crazy talk
What're you doing in the land of the midnight sun 'cause you better run
you're just a toy cowboy
If I'm a toy then let me do what I do
you wind me up and watch what I'd do to you
Hey cowboy (what do you want?), where did you get that horse
Hey cowboy, from the men of course
what're you doing in the land of the midnight sun 'cause you better run
you're just a toy cowboy
I'm maybe small but I know I'm right for you
No big cowboy can do the little things I do
(you get that straight little Swedish girl?
