In the HÁ/S4000 a 4-Zylinder-Diesel worked also at the beginning of 80 HP of achievement, in the H6 after the unit construction system of derived 6-Zylinder with 120 HP. As S 4000-1 in the course of the advancement the pay load had been increased to [color=red>4], the achievement amounted to now 90 HP. Until 1967 S 4000-1 in Werdau one built in such a way. Approximately 40,000 vehicles developed for 16jaehrigen production time in that well.
Until 1958 the H6 is built both in the VEW work Horch Zwickau and in

<FONT color=#0000ff>the MAN [/color]m-procedure was bought. The pay load amounts to depending upon execution up to [color=red>10], the transmission had 5 courses.
The IFA W 50 with first 110, then with 125 HP, was as 4x4 for agriculture and military an export success (pay load approx. <FONT color=red>8 Tons [/color]with the Allrad-W50).

Frameworks, suspension, axles, etc. are all intensified, more stable advancements (above all larger and heavier). Transmission (8-Gang), clutch and brakes (hydraulic-pneumatic two-circular braking system) correspond completely to the standard of the western countries at present the development of the <FONT color=red>L-60[/color]. are also based the entire technology on compressed air. The W-50 had only hydraulic brake with compressed air support. Those max. Pay load was increased to [color=red>12], the trailer weight amounts to <FONT color=red>16 Tons[/color].
