Shortly after the First World War, the heavy industry company from Essen began producing commercial vehicles. Towards the end of the 1950s, Krupp surprised everyone with a modern and innovative new series of trucks based on cab-over-engines. However, the company's adherence to the two-stroke diesel engine caused sales to collapse, which brought about the end of truck production.
