I'm from the Czech Republic and almost every village volunteer fire brigade here in the Czech Republic has the old 6x6 Tatra 148. It is a cistern for 7000 liters of water. It has a V8 12.4l engine.
and for moving people 99,9% of fire brigades have AVIA 30...for moving just firefighters most of the firebrigades also bought Ford transit in recent years
Pepik Slavek, neumím tak dobře anglicky jako ty i když komentář jsem si přelouskal ale chtěl bych ti říct, že za jsem za tvým vozidlem TATRA 148 a dal jsem ti odběr a palec nahoru a fandím ti.
Well guys, i think this is not a truth to this date. Today, the Tatra 815 is more common as a vehicle of volunteer fire brigades (Usually 6x6 CAS 32 classic configuration with short cab), 148 is going to be a history soon... There were much more of them some years back... And they will only get rid of, because of their age... I know, that they are the best in terrain (In Hřensko, year ago, on one of the worst terrain road down there) the fire chief said, half of the road will be used by all other engines, on that really bad and damaged second half i can use only a Tatra 148.... Plus Classic THT body of Tatra 148 has 6000 litres of water, and 600 litres of foam.
That siren from Tatra from Ukraine is an old Czechoslovak siren, old and decommissioned equipment from service in the Czech Republic is sent to Ukraine to finish its service there.
6:57 This is the Trabant 601, the most famous car from East Germany. It was the cheapest car in the world. 7:33 This is the Wartburg 353, next car from East Germany.
My father had a Wartburg 353 for some years in the middle of the 70th. He had a Mazda 1500 combi my1970 during the same time. Then he bought a used Renault 12 my 1976 from his brother. This was used quite a long time!
and both cars have a two-stroke engine no engine braking, if the brakes aren't in great shape .... ---- There was a joke in Yugoslavia: what do the Japanese call Trabant and Wartburg? answer: "jakodimi" / "It smokes a lot" 😂
Quote: "The American Truck Company (ATC) is an importer of the Czech Tatra trucks to the United States. These trucks are being offered for military and other government organizations. The Tatra trucks are rebadged and sold in the United States under the ATC brand."
That explain everything... Just like SISU trucks, which are rebranded Renault trucks, specialized in quarry trucks, and the Astra, which is the specialized vehicles division (also quarry trucks mostly) of the italian Iveco... Quote on the Iveco's Magirus, which is the offroad/specialistic model for any other kind of applications instead of the more standard Iveco Stralis, Highway, S-Way and Eurocargo
I don't think this is still true, I think that joint venture existed when Tatra had different owners. Now there are news that a new contract for joint venture was signed with a NO. 2 American military vehicle producer.
@@TheKubyk Terex is not Tatra's shareholder for at least 15 years by now and I don't think the joint venture works anymore. The purpose of ATC was to go big and get one of the huge military contracts,not to sell a fire engine here and there. At least that's my impression.
that light blue bus at 7:40 is a hungarian Ikarus 55 or 66, was a fairly widespread brand with several models throughout Europe, but especially in the Eastern Bloc from 60's-80's, but also in many places overseas.
Hello from Czech republic. Varnsdorf is city and its definitely isn't in USA but, in Czechia, from country where Tatra has a production line and headquarters. And, Hasiči is in english Firemen.
@*UncleJoe* Personally, I am of the opinion that as far as such vehicles in the Czech Republic are concerned, the Tatra is slowly at the top in terms of terrain permeability. However, probably the most permeable car that the Czechs produced was the Praga V3S. Yes, that truck had a nice name back in the day, Praga, when our capital is Praha (Prague)😉 In the Czech Republic we make a truck with the name ExcaliburArmy, which is perhaps the most famous chassis in the world. Tatra chassis. This company delivered two special firefighting vehicles Titan, Triton to Czech firefighters
The American Truck Company (ATC) is an importer of the Czech Tatra trucks to the United States. These trucks are being offered for military and other government organizations. The Tatra trucks are rebadged and sold in the United States under the ATC brand. The Tatra T815 is being marketed under a straightforward ATC 6x6 name. Its Czech chassis designation is T815-6MWV27 26 298 6x6.1R
When I was in military service on Airfield Mošnov then Czecho-Slovakia one guy took Tatra 815 8x8 for illegal trip around airport and in process panicked when tried to be stopped by patrol and went right through forrest putting down trees with 15 - 20 cm trunks with ease. He was stopped after some 20 - 30 meters only by tree roots overturned by falling tree which lifted truck front axle. Only damage was tyre damaged from dislocated cabin. Even guys from manufacturer located cca 15 km away were surprised with that performance.
That "little green guy" is a Trabant 601 "Kübelwagen" used by the "Grenztruppen der DDR" and "Nationale Volksarmee der DDR", during comunism in East-Germany. It was made from 1966 until 1990 and based on the Trabant 601. About 11.150 "Kübelwagen"were made.
Tatras are the basic trucks in Czech army. They use them almost for everything. Logistics aswell as a base for various rocket launchers and artillery pieces. Find RM-71 or DANA self-propelled howitzer.
The green guy is a Trabant Kübel, which was the military version of the Trabant 601. It was made in the GDR in Zwickau in the company that was Auto Union and Horch before 2nd world war. Doug De Muro made a video about his Trabant in the US. czcams.com/video/No1-4GsQa-g/video.html
6:54 This is a military variant of a car which goes by the name "Trabant" (aka "Trabbi"). The Trabant in all its variants was build in the former DDR (east Germany). The nickname of these military cars was "Schluchtenstürmer" ("canyon rusher"), because it is so tiny. The western counterparts of this vehicle would have been the HMMWV/Hummer or in West Germany the "Iltis" ("polecat") from Volkswagen and later the "Wolf" (military version of the Mercedes G Modell) Original car: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trabant_601

Hallo, big greeting from the Czechia! Is very good honor fór the Moravian Tatra Kopřivnice factory to ALL od thier type od cars was used like a FIRE CARS! It s original pipe drive fór the wheels And air cooling motor was just 100 years!!! First type with this engines Tatra 11 start production in the 1923 year. Best fór the army,builders, firemen, foeest workers and another that.
7:41 The legendary old Hungarian bus brand, the Ikarus (no, not Russian!). Used worldwide and because it was strong and easy to maintain, and there were places where normally only this bus could go e.g.: Greece serpentines etc. In Hungary and the surrounding countries, there are still later versions that work and are perhaps better known, but most of them are in museums or have been scrapped. By the way, there is a world-renowned restoration workshop here, where they repair them, no matter where they come from. They are usually brought back to Hungary by rich Germans, because the German mechanics do a bad job and lie on the job! They also built their own version based on the American Steiger Cougar II tractor, which was improved several times and fitted with engines tuned by the legendary Rába Hungarian Wagon and Machine Works. This was the Rába-Steiger, which was and is also used in other countries! The sound of the engine was extraordinary, wherever it went in the world, people remembered and loved it!
@Elisa (and her West French Level Crossings) This is possible, the "newer" versions is used in other places and even in Hungary (IKARUS 200 series, 400 series, "classic" like C56, and "E" series and other not famous models, but of course they are slowly being replaced by new ones) and the other bustype the CREDO! IKARUS is not modern, but still going! And this is the guy who fixing every problem on legendary buses, this bus come from Germany, but the work of the Germans was bad, but the also German owner find this guy and the team, and now....this old timer legend are running again, and everything is working well! This man can fix anything, he even has a tank, a T34 or Brithis bus etc! Check this video: Utolsó tánc (viszlát faros). This is the same bus version as in the video, and this is the last day of the bus in Hungary!
07:39 that bus is Ikarus Lux made in Hungary . Yes that was here in Estonia in 1968 - 1979 line bus Tallinn to Loksa is 76 km / 47,5 miles ant taht was "Express" = only 3 stops and 1 h 30 minutes trip . Yes I ride and have memories 1975 -1979 when I was kid.
While the German Unimog is a very good very capable offroad truck, it quickly reaches its limits when it carries a heavy load. In contrast to that Tatra remains offroad capable even when fully loaded.
At 7.21 I was driving that old Tatra for a year in the army. Many pneumatic switches, all wheel drive good fun :) It has 1319 gallons of water on board and some 65 gallons of foam ... making liquid thing - I don't know how it's called. + all the kitts hoses and stuff. The pump can do 703 gallons/minute. And 2 telescopic standing up style water cannon on the roof. ( on the version we had)
In 80's - I was working in Tatra factory. Building 8/10/12 cylinders some twin turbos engines. Green car Trabant w/600cc 2 cycle engine and fuel tank on top of engine. No fuel pump needed. But in front end collision mostly likely catch on fire. All body was plastic .
6:52 The little green guy is a Trabant 601, NVA convertible version and no doors. Basically, same concept as the old VW Kübelwagen. NVA was the army of east German GDR which existed before German reunification in 1991.
Greetings from Czechia. I am really surprised how known our Tatras are.. Maybe you would love to see some older tatras also? Tatra 813 is also impressive one, these are beasts in trucktrial events.. Some sneak peak here: czcams.com/video/bM9-XNX2nwI/video.html I hope you will find 813's also interesting as I love these.. :)
You may wanna watch out, just in ten days (24th of may) TATRA will be introducing two new models to the public. And they look sick. :) It will take place at the PYROS expo in Brno CZ. Just something you may wanna look forward to. :)
Dude, do you want to see really rough Tatras? Find RM-70 rocket launcher (modernized as RM-70 VAMPIR), DANA and ZUZANA 8x8 self-proppeled howitzers and SLEIPNIR TATRA (the wildest dream of every bus driver).
Hello, I just find some video about a TATRA FIRE TRUCKS in the USA. Description is in czech, so here is a translation as well. Translation: 0:02 TATRA FIRE TRUCKS in the USA ***and maybe another, it was hard to find some informations** 0:15 Specifications Chassis: TATRA 815 6x6 Engine: Cummins ISM 410 306 kw (416 HP) and 1864NM of torque Gearbox: Automatic hydrodynamic TwinDisc 6 speed Body: S&S Fire (for example San Diego) and SVI Trucks (for example Hawaii) Tank: Water 2400 L, Foam: 190 L Rate of climb: 100% (best in the USA) Main customer: BLM (Bureau of Land Management) 2:16 This has been replaced by TATRA: 3:25 Originally from BOISE, IDAHO. Relocated to BLM Vale district. 3:30 With a short cab. 6:26 The only one in the USA which have an air-cooled twinturbo V12 engine Video: czcams.com/video/1mSaQtfCuw4/video.html
European vehicles are exported often to America. Some notable examples were Skoda Trolleybuses for San Francisco MUNI transit and Dayton, Ohio. Hungarian bus brand Ikarus is operated all over the US, americans call them NABI, you should check them out too. You might also want to look at Renault Magnum semi-trucks which were demonstrated in the US during their Route 66 tour.
ATC (american truck company) Tatras "were badged and sold in the United States under the ATC brand. ATC badged Tatras were fitted with American Cummins turbodiesel engines in place of the Tatra's air-cooled diesel." (wikipedia) The green car is "Trabant 601 Kübel (added in 1966). Jeep version with no doors, folding roof, auxiliary heating system, the ignition system is RFI shielded." (wikipedia) Do you konow other popular czech brand CZUB? CZ is a firearms manufacturer known for quality guns. CZUB has been the owner of Colt's Manufacturing Company since 2021.
From 2002 to 2006, Tatra was majority owned by the American Terex Corporation. From 2006 Tatra was a part of the Czech Blue River Group. This Amarican company almost ruined Tatra. After that, a Czechoslovak company bought it and again positioned it at the top of the segment.
"Little green guy" is Trabant 601A+F. Old small military version of Trabant 601. Engine is only 594,5cc and 19,1 kW and it has two cylinders - two stroke gasoline engine.
ATC to ličenční výroba nebo zastoupení Tatry pro USA,ale místo vzduchem chlazených naftových motorů a manuální převodovky mají motory nafty Deutz bo Perkins a jiné a mají pro USA automaty.
6:56 a green car produced in East Germany when it was under Soviet occupation named Trabant 601 Kübel has been produced since 1967 . Two-stroke gasoline engines (add oil to gasoline) . In Poland, in slang, it was called "soap dish" because the body was made of a plastic called duroplast. Poles associated it with a plastic package for storing a bar of soap
The classic Trabant, that used to be common in Czech, people said that it's made of a bakelite, which would be made of a resin(pryskyřice) the predecessor of a plastic? But i've never heard of PVC Jaguar, good one :)
The new tatra's are using daf cf components like the cab,engine and chassis. Like the yellow isrealian one. And the funny thing is that daf is a part of paccar what is a us company..
Only the Tatra Phoenix uses the DAF cab and engine, the chassis are always Tatra. Other Tatras use their own cabins and air-cooled Tatra engines. The Tatra engine does not meet the Euro 6 standard, therefore it does not use original engines for the civilian market. Air-cooled Tatra engines and cabs are used in army, firefighting and other special vehicles because they are very reliable.
Tatra Trucks is negotiating a partnership with the car manufacturer AM General. AMG has experience supplying the US military, but does not have its own product in the heavy off-road vehicle category.
Do you have some more info on that? I work at TATRA and haven´t heard about such thing (which doesn´t means it can´t be true, i may just lost it in communication) :D :D
@@samotnaf007 The project is just at the beginning. The two companies are getting to know each other's capabilities and considering what a joint product might look like. (Tatra would supply the chassis or their components, but the frames, cabs and superstructures would be made in the United States) You will certainly learn more from your fellow Tatra Trucks spokesperson Andrej Cirtek
I would love to see you react to..... CFA Crew protection system testing by CFA (country Fire Authority) And then understanding this system you must watch... 2015 Pinery Fire S.A - firetrucks overrun by flames and go into burnover mode by dashcam owners Aus Another good volunteer service to check out is Australia's State Emergency Service They do everything like flood rescue, road crash rescues, land searches, car vs house, cliff rescues, storm damage, and USAR (earthquakes)
The small green car was a Trabant. They smoke blue out of the exhaustion, 5 km after they left the factory. And they smelled horribly, when you passed them on the road. Officially, the Trabant has never overtaken another vehicle on the road. They were that slow! (Well I might have made up the last part, but it's probably true).
ATC is the brand name Tatra trucks are sold under in the US, American truck company. The Israel army bought some ATC (Tatra) trucks from the US, so the Israel army ones are also badged ATC as they were bought from an American dealer.
I would've thought that a US government department like the fire service would have all American built vehicles. Its good to see some departments looking at other countries equipment. I wonder if we have any over here in the UK. The only former Eastern block countries vehicles I tend to see here, is privately owned military vehicles such as the Zill 131, Gaz-66 and Urals ect.
Tatra firetrucks become more and more popular in Germany, especially in the federal states with large forest areas. In the following video there is an out of German standard (two-tone) sirene, maybe because the fire department is very clse to the Czech border. czcams.com/video/zgQEJdjQLOg/video.html
There was another truck made in Czechia: LIAZ. Perhaps not so cool as Tatra but also interesting. Here is a short video from the LIAZ owners gathering: czcams.com/video/aDuPl3Tsp0k/video.html
Love for Tatra is very understandable, I liked them the second I first saw one. Heavy trucks with all wheel drive are wonderful in general, but unfortunately also very obscure and you'd normally not know about them without deliberately looking them up. Soviet Union built a bunch of cool ones that I know about. Don't know much about US built ones, I know of the M939 and CCKW but not much else.
Hello, small correction - the Czech Republic (part of the former Czechoslovakia) was never part of the Soviet Union. Although it was part of the communist bloc (Eastern bloc), it was always a sovereign country, unfortunately occupied by the Soviet army since 1968.
CZECH MADE DEFENCE VEHICLES OF YEAR 2022: czcams.com/video/RbhaUIqID-c/video.html COMPANIES: .-TATRA DEFENCE VECLES, - EXCALIBUR ARMY (EA) - based on TATRA CHASSIS AND ENGINS, - ZETOR - huge surprise for me as ZETOR is mainly known as traditional long term tractor producer from Brno - but Brno city is known as traditional military equipment producer - amazing revival - cooperation of french NEXTER and TATRA (chasiss) - model TITUS

Greetings from Czechia. I am really surprised how known our Tatras are.. Maybe you would love to see some older tatras also? Tatra 813 is also impressive one, these are beasts in trucktrial events.. Some sneak peak here: czcams.com/video/bM9-XNX2nwI/video.html
I hope you will find 813's also interesting as I love these.. :)
You may wanna watch out, just in ten days (24th of may) TATRA will be introducing two new models to the public. And they look sick. :) It will take place at the PYROS expo in Brno CZ. Just something you may wanna look forward to. :)
The little "green Guy" is a Trabant Kübelwagen. It was used by the fromer GDR Army.
Dude, do you want to see really rough Tatras? Find RM-70 rocket launcher (modernized as RM-70 VAMPIR), DANA and ZUZANA 8x8 self-proppeled howitzers and SLEIPNIR TATRA (the wildest dream of every bus driver).
WOW, I'm learning about so many cool vehicles. Thanks for your comment.
I think there are some CAESAR howitzers mounted on Tatra chassis as well
@@MrToradragon Yes, Caesars for the Czech Army are to be built upon Tatra 8x8
6:57 The little thing is a military version of the Trabant vehicle

You must look at "magical" Tatra suspension,its different😁
European vehicles are exported often to America. Some notable examples were Skoda Trolleybuses for San Francisco MUNI transit and Dayton, Ohio. Hungarian bus brand Ikarus is operated all over the US, americans call them NABI, you should check them out too. You might also want to look at Renault Magnum semi-trucks which were demonstrated in the US during their Route 66 tour.
The little Green Car ist a Trabant Kübel. A Military vehicle from the East German Army. 2 Stroke, 2 Zylinder with 24hp.
the green car between the firetrucks in Germany.. It looks like a"jeep" transformed Trabant
the white and red is the Tatra. I like to see the Tatra as a firefighter all over the world. I'm proud of the fact that we deliver quality
Tatra makes 12 wheel drive trucks and can't be stopped
2:48 it stands for American truck company, its a company that imported tatras to US. They also manufactured some fire trucks on tatras chassis.
You need to check out Tatra trucks on the Paris -Dakar rally
The Green funny Thing is a Trabi a duroplast car from the eastblock Produced in the cold War
6:51 Infamous Trabant
ATC (american truck company) Tatras "were badged and sold in the United States under the ATC brand. ATC badged Tatras were fitted with American Cummins turbodiesel engines in place of the Tatra's air-cooled diesel." (wikipedia)
The green car is "Trabant 601 Kübel (added in 1966). Jeep version with no doors, folding roof, auxiliary heating system, the ignition system is RFI shielded." (wikipedia)
Do you konow other popular czech brand CZUB? CZ is a firearms manufacturer known for quality guns. CZUB has been the owner of Colt's Manufacturing Company since 2021.
That green little guy was Trabant. It is vehicle build in East Germany in the times of Cold War. Here some info on wiki en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trabant
You're a man of culture
From 2002 to 2006, Tatra was majority owned by the American Terex Corporation. From 2006 Tatra was a part of the Czech Blue River Group. This Amarican company almost ruined Tatra. After that, a Czechoslovak company bought it and again positioned it at the top of the segment.
*Czechoslovak Group (CSG)
Varnsdorf? I was born there! A big surprise for me! It made me happy! :D
Varnsdorf is located in the north of the Czech Republic. Right on the German border.
7:08 TOP OLD TATRA 148 V8 6x6 CAS 32 (years 70s.)
"Little green guy" is Trabant 601A+F. Old small military version of Trabant 601. Engine is only 594,5cc and 19,1 kW and it has two cylinders - two stroke gasoline engine.
In the movie fury road, the big rig is a reworked Tatra. used the chassis, engine and gearbox.

ATC to ličenční výroba nebo zastoupení Tatry pro USA,ale místo vzduchem chlazených naftových motorů a manuální převodovky mají motory nafty Deutz bo Perkins a jiné a mají pro USA automaty.
6:56 a green car produced in East Germany when it was under Soviet occupation named Trabant 601 Kübel has been produced since 1967 . Two-stroke gasoline engines (add oil to gasoline) . In Poland, in slang, it was called "soap dish" because the body was made of a plastic called duroplast. Poles associated it with a plastic package for storing a bar of soap
Lil green guy is Trabant 601, funny "plastic" car (in fact it's mixture of textile waste and resin). My parents call it "PVC Jaguar". 🤣
The classic Trabant, that used to be common in Czech, people said that it's made of a bakelite, which would be made of a resin(pryskyřice) the predecessor of a plastic?
But i've never heard of PVC Jaguar, good one :)
The "little Green Car" is a (east German) produced Trabant but I think the soft top is DIY
8:23 this is an old,... maybe 80s Czechoslovakian siren
I don't know the exact model, but the little green car at 7:00 in the video is a military version of a Trabant.
The new tatra's are using daf cf components like the cab,engine and chassis. Like the yellow isrealian one. And the funny thing is that daf is a part of paccar what is a us company..
The chassis is NOT DAF - original TATRA for over 100 years 🙂czcams.com/video/NjLtO5msx1M/video.html
Only the Tatra Phoenix uses the DAF cab and engine, the chassis are always Tatra. Other Tatras use their own cabins and air-cooled Tatra engines. The Tatra engine does not meet the Euro 6 standard, therefore it does not use original engines for the civilian market. Air-cooled Tatra engines and cabs are used in army, firefighting and other special vehicles because they are very reliable.
This little green Car is a Trabant 601, bildet in the GDR
zdravím TATRA se vyvážela z České republiky do celého světa dělali železniční motorové vozy, osobní i nákladní auta a dokonce i letadla !
Chcel si povedat z ceskoslovenska!!!
This is worth watching
Tatra Trucks is negotiating a partnership with the car manufacturer AM General. AMG has experience supplying the US military, but does not have its own product in the heavy off-road vehicle category.
Do you have some more info on that? I work at TATRA and haven´t heard about such thing (which doesn´t means it can´t be true, i may just lost it in communication) :D :D
@@samotnaf007 The project is just at the beginning. The two companies are getting to know each other's capabilities and considering what a joint product might look like.
(Tatra would supply the chassis or their components, but the frames, cabs and superstructures would be made in the United States)
You will certainly learn more from your fellow Tatra Trucks spokesperson Andrej Cirtek
@@JV-eo5dj Ohh, thank you very much, certainly will look into that. :) Sound very interesting :)
Tatra fire apparatus in USA (Colorado, Kalifornie, Florida, Havai, Oregon, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, Utah) - czcams.com/video/1mSaQtfCuw4/video.html 🙂
ATC (American Truck Company) was bought by Tatra because of Buy America.
I would love to see you react to.....
CFA Crew protection system testing by CFA (country Fire Authority)
And then understanding this system you must watch...
2015 Pinery Fire S.A - firetrucks overrun by flames and go into burnover mode by dashcam owners Aus
Another good volunteer service to check out is Australia's State Emergency Service
They do everything like flood rescue, road crash rescues, land searches, car vs house, cliff rescues, storm damage, and USAR (earthquakes)
Yes, definitely!
You should also check the other Czech off-roader truck Praga V3S. Oldie but still more than able.
The small green car was a Trabant. They smoke blue out of the exhaustion, 5 km after they left the factory. And they smelled horribly, when you passed them on the road.
Officially, the Trabant has never overtaken another vehicle on the road. They were that slow!
(Well I might have made up the last part, but it's probably true).
The old bus is an Ikarus from Hungary. Ikarus was one of the largest bus manufacturers at one point.
I see Tatra's everyday everywhere :D (I'm fom Czechia)
ATC is the brand name Tatra trucks are sold under in the US, American truck company. The Israel army bought some ATC (Tatra) trucks from the US, so the Israel army ones are also badged ATC as they were bought from an American dealer.
That small green thing is Trabant ex military vehicle
this little green stuff is Trabant in military mod.
I would've thought that a US government department like the fire service would have all American built vehicles.
Its good to see some departments looking at other countries equipment.
I wonder if we have any over here in the UK.
The only former Eastern block countries vehicles I tend to see here, is privately owned military vehicles such as the Zill 131, Gaz-66 and Urals ect.
Tatra firetrucks become more and more popular in Germany, especially in the federal states with large forest areas. In the following video there is an out of German standard (two-tone) sirene, maybe because the fire department is very clse to the Czech border.
czcams.com/video/zgQEJdjQLOg/video.html
Fun fact. The czech two-tone signal for firecars should remind to czechs the sound of word HOŘÍ (hoo-říí)...which in english means "its burning".😉
That little green guy is a Trabant.
That green little thing you ask about at 6:55 looks like a Trabant. YOU WANT TO STAY AWAY FROM THOSE! Horrible little things 😅😅😅😅
I guess you were offended and yelled "I'm wishing death on whoever drive a green car!" when you saw that green Trabant 601?
US military does use Tatras but they are rebranded to some American brand and use American engines
That little "green thing" is a Sachsenring Trabant 601 in the army version of the former DDR.
There was another truck made in Czechia: LIAZ. Perhaps not so cool as Tatra but also interesting. Here is a short video from the LIAZ owners gathering:
czcams.com/video/aDuPl3Tsp0k/video.html
i think i have driven one of them in snowrunner
Green car looks like a customised Trabant, from East Germany
Love for Tatra is very understandable, I liked them the second I first saw one. Heavy trucks with all wheel drive are wonderful in general, but unfortunately also very obscure and you'd normally not know about them without deliberately looking them up. Soviet Union built a bunch of cool ones that I know about. Don't know much about US built ones, I know of the M939 and CCKW but not much else.
Hello, small correction - the Czech Republic (part of the former Czechoslovakia) was never part of the Soviet Union. Although it was part of the communist bloc (Eastern bloc), it was always a sovereign country, unfortunately occupied by the Soviet army since 1968.
7:00 that green hideous little car is a Trabant en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trabant so some modified version
the little green guy is a military version the trabant 601
ATC is Tatra like something if you see Ford Mustang and Shelby Mustang, same thing
7:00 i think its some kind of modification from Trabant maybe
I would recomend to watch some videos of Praga V3S
The little green car is army modifications Trabant 601 Kübelwagen (Time: 6:47)
The "little green guy" @07:00 is a special Trabant (cabrio). 🙂 Made in East Germany.
did some research atc is the american truck company who make tatra style trucks for the usa
