Steyr Type 1500A
The German successes at the beginning of WWII were known as "Blitzkriegs" and demonstrated not only the effectiveness of the mechanization, but also the importance of military transport vehicles. They planned to produce the military vehicles including the motorcycles under the general command for the motor vehicle in 1940. It called "Schell Programme", standardized and improved the productivity of the vehicles. The standardization was based on the weight of the vehicles manufactured in the market. It was divided into 5 different types: 1, 1.5, 4 and 6.5 ton. The Styer type 1500 was manufactured by Daimler-Puch and Auto-Union and the only differences between the two are a tiny stamped logo in the middle of the hood.
It was a front suspension system consisting of the transverse leaf springs, torsion bars and track rod, the rear suspension system and torsion bars that were matched to German military vehicles. The distinctive features were the front guard and the rounded engine hood. The Styer 3.5-liter V8 air-cooled engine produced 85HP, sustaining the top speed of 100Km/h. The transmission was based on 4 speed forward and reverse on the four wheel drive. There were two basic versions of the vehicle, the 1500/A01 and the A/02. The only differences in these were the locations of the spare tire. It was preferred by the offices because of a variety of usage such as a staff car, a tow car and an ambulance. |
