This allowed the production of new models “G398” and “V3000” at the Ford plant in Cologne at the height of the war. In 1940, Henry Ford, who was a fan of the Nazis, handed over to Germany documentation for 3 ton trucks “018T” and “098T”. The figure “2” was typical for pickups and indicated a lightweight 2.2-liter V8 engine of 60 horsepower.īy the end of the 30’s the range of Ford trucks consisted of 126 variants.
Cars with the second digit of the code “1” were equipped with a 3.6-liter motor with a capacity of 75-95 “horses”. Full-sized 1-ton pickups had the code “Y”, light commercial models with a carrying capacity of 500-750 kg. the letter index “T”, the boneless variants – “W”, the bus chassis – “V”, the long-base versions (up to 4700 mm.) were in the designation of 3 digits (for example, “817T” or “817W”). In 1938 trucks with a standard base of 3350 mm. Soon on its basis, the production of pick-ups and vans “A” started with the carrying capacity of 600-750 kilograms, and in November 1927 the first 1.5-ton truck “AA” appeared with a wood-metal cabin, reinforced frame and suspension, worm main gear and spiked wheels with high-pressure tires. Two years later, a 1-million-pound truck was manufactured, and the share of such Ford cars in the US market reached 75%.Ī new stage in the development of Ford came on Octowith the release of the A car with a 4-cylinder engine (3285 cm3, 40 hp). In fact, the 1-ton “TT” differed from the base “Ford T” only with a stiffer frame and suspension, wheels with cast tires, reinforced by a driving bridge with a worm main transmission and extended from 2540 to 3150 mm wheelbase. An important event in the history of Ford is considered July 27, 1917, when the first “real” truck “Ford TT” appeared, the assembly of which began side by side with the passenger cars “T”. The launch of special “E” vans with a 10-horsepower motor from the “F” passenger car model began the following year. The first was a van on the chassis “C”, manufactured in October 1904. Soon after the founding of the Ford company in June 1903, small vans for 300-400 kilograms of cargo appeared on the chassis of cars.
The history of the automobile plant FORD begins in 1896, when the famous inventor and entrepreneur Henry Ford built one of the world’s first cars in the world. The Ford brand was made famous not only for cars, but also for numerous pick-up trucks, light vans and trucks.
