In this form it was produced during following years: 1959 Start of production of medium-duty models of modern postwar trucks with a short hood (Kurzhauber). 1963 Naming convention changed. The previous three-digit designations starting with the digit 3 did not make much sense, it was simply factory designation of a particular type. The new designations carry information about the vehicle: the first digit or the first two digits are total weight in tons, the next two digits are engine horsepower in hp/10.
