Busch 8665 TT Framo Semi-bus Simson

TT Framo semi-bus Simson

Framo or rather Barkas??? In the years 1954-1961 the van Barkas V901/2 was produced in the VEB Barkas works Karl-Marx-Stadt (until 1956 Framo in Hainichen). Due to its origin, it was therefore more frequently named as Framo V901/2 and since 1956 also called it. While maintaining the technology, the three-quarter-tone Framo V901 of the former GDR vehicle construction in 1954 was externally redesigned and further developed to the V901/2 type.

Like its predecessor, the popular van was available in various versions, such as box van, semi-bus, bus, pallet truck and with special structures for police, post office and various trade organizations. The top speed of the transporter, which was styled in the spirit of the 1950er, was 75-82 km/h. Although this did not meet the domestic requirements of the transporter, it was nevertheless exported to Holland, Belgium, Finland and Hungary, where demand could not be nearly met. Due to the acute shortage of vans, numerous V901/2 were still used in everyday life in the GDR even at the end of the 1980er. Worn or damaged vehicles could be repaired at short notice thanks to continuous spare parts production and the proven frame construction. Of type V901/2, a total of 25,604 units were manufactured.
