Lastwagen & Busse Osteuropas
This book is dedicated to the trucks and buses of Eastern Europe, with the focus on the economic area of the former Eastern Bloc with the CMEA states (Bulgaria, CSSR, GDR, Poland, Romania, Soviet Union and Hungary) as well as Yugoslavia. Michael Dünnebier gained first-hand information through personal impressions during numerous visits to Eastern European manufacturing plants, at trade fairs and exhibitions, and through discussions with company employees.
The focus of the study is on the history of the company and its type, especially during the planned economy period. However, the further history of the companies and the transition to the market economy up to the present day are also presented.
The Skoda RT series of forward control trucks, introduced in the mid-1950s, were a common sight on East German roads for decades. They came in many versions and variants, from flatbed trucks and garbage trucks to semi-trailers and buses. They were not replaced until 1985.
This book covers the heavy forward control trucks and buses of the Czech manufacturer from 1945 to the present. It includes long-distance trucks, construction vehicles, tractor units, airport tugs, tankers, and more.
