The IFA Horch H3, also known as IFA H3, is a short bonnet lorry, and the first series production vehicle by East German VEB HORCH Kraftfahrzeug- und Motorenwerke Zwickau, later known as VEB Sachsenring Automobilwerke Zwickau. The short-lived H3 was produced from 1947 to 1949 in Zwickau (then Soviet occupation zone); 852 were produced. Several parts used in the H3, most notably the engine, were originally intended to be used for Sd.Kfz. 11 half tracks.[1]
Technical description
The IFA Horch H3 is a 3 tonne, two-axle, front engine, rear-wheel drive lorry with a short bonnet. It has a U-profile ladder frame, and leaf sprung axles. The front axle is a rigid dead, the rear axle a rigid live axle. 7.5—20 inch tyres were fitted; the braking system is fully mechanical. A double-disc dry clutch transmits the torque from the six-cylinder Maybach Hl42 otto engine to the five-speed unsynchronised Prometheus gearbox. In its highest gear, the H3 can reach a top speed of 65 km/h.[2]
