Tatra 111 is one of the most famous trucks of the Tatra brand, which with its reliability and good driving characteristics in the field. He quickly gained popularity both with the German army, for which he was developed, and later with the Czechoslovak army and civilian drivers. Not only in Czechoslovakia, but also abroad, especially in the harsh conditions of Siberia in the then Soviet Union.
The Tatra 111 has undergone many modifications and improvements over the years of production. Originally relatively high engine power 154 kW at 2,250 rpm. was later reduced to 132 kW at 1,800 rpm to increase reliability and the possibility of long-term loading. The load capacity of 8 tons for the first cars was later increased to 10.3 tons. The Tatra 111 reached a speed of 75 km / h for the first cars, later, after reducing the engine speed to 62 km / h with a relatively favorable average consumption of 30 liters of diesel per 100 km.
The development of the tank using the Tatra 111 chassis with a tank with a capacity of 7000 l of fuel began in February 1951 in the development department of Tatra Kopřivnice n. p. on the basis of the MNO request. The plan was approved in the summer of 1951, followed by the elaboration of technical documentation. According to her, the first prototype was produced in Tatra Kopřivnice in cooperation with Strojírna in Brandýs nad Labem in the summer of 1952. The special superstructure of the vehicle consisted of a tank divided by two partitions into three chambers. Cabinets containing pumping and dispensing units, measuring instruments and distribution fittings were attached to the sides of the tank. After the completion of the prototype, the vehicle was presented to the MNO commission in early August 1952, which recommended that company tests be carried out as soon as possible.
The Volkswagen Schwimmwagen (literally "covered wagon") was an all-wheel drive amphibious vehicle used extensively by German ground forces during World War II. The Schwimmwagen is the most mass-produced amphibious vehicle in history.
The Schwimmwagens were manufactured by the Volkswagen plant in Fallersleben / Stadt des KdF-Wagens and the Porsche plant in Stuttgart. With bodies (or rather torso) made by Ambi Budd in Berlin. 15,584 Type 166 Schwimmwagens were produced between 1941 and 1944, 14,276 in Fallersleben and 1,308 at Porsche. It is known from the Schwimmwagen register that today only 189 amphibious cars remain and only 13 survived without restoration work.
All Schwimmwagens had four-wheel drive in first gear (and in some models reverse) and had ZF self-locking differentials on the front and rear axles. As with the Kübelwagen, the Schwimmwagen had rear gantry axles that provided increased ground clearance while reducing powertrain stress by reducing wheel gears. The Schwimmwagen had a top speed of 50 miles per hour (80 km / h) on land.
While crossing the water, it was possible to lower the propeller down from the rear cover of the deck / engine. When a simple clutch was in place, it provided drive directly from the engine crankshaft extension. This meant that the screw drive always went forward. The Schwimmwagen had a top speed of 10 km / h (6 mph) in the water. For reversing in the water, the choice was to use standard paddle equipment or start the ground drive in the opposite direction, which allowed the wheels to turn slowly to return the vehicle. The front wheels doubled like rudders, so steering was done on land and water. Schwimmwagen could also be driven by the above-mentioned paddles.
