The Framo V 901 is a pickup truck that was manufactured by Framo in Hainichen between 1951 and 1954 . As a three-quarter- tonner, it was the smallest truck in what was then the GDR vehicle construction and was located below the granite phenomenon .
history
When developing this model, the main goal was to find a more powerful engine for the 501/2 model that had been produced so far . The principle of the double piston engine was abandoned for reasons of efficient production. The 0.9-liter engine of the IFA F9 was used , a conventional three-cylinder . However, its output had to be reduced to 18 kW in order to avoid overloading the gearbox and the chassis, which had been adopted unchanged from the predecessor. Nevertheless, a force was now available that was sufficient to safely cope with the possible payload. Externally, the vehicle remained almost unchanged compared to its predecessor. Even the free-standing headlights were retained. The Framo was not alone in this on the international market. Various pre-war models were produced during this period, such as the Fordson E83W .
Other bodies such as station wagons, buses and ambulances were added to the previous versions of the flatbed and panel van. These were manufactured in VEB Karosseriewerke Halle . In contrast to the previous type, the box body was designed without a separate cab, but was still based on a wooden frame as a load-bearing element.
Exports to the Netherlands and Belgium could already be started in 1951 . In 1952, the operation of the four-wheel brake was changed from cable to hydraulic. A modernization of the exterior occurred in 1954 with further development to the V 901/2 . The number of units of the transporter increased, but remained quite low overall. A total of 3775 vehicles were produced.
