Solved: Wendax 026 - EMW 340 bus by Fleischer
« on: February 14, 2011, 05:00:49 PM »
I did a lot of research on buses the last days (thanks, Carnut). Perhaps I can keep somebody else "bus busy"?

For one point, please respond and identify the maker, the base and the year of this small bus.

Yes, that's it. To complete the answer, can you tell the year of creation?

Locked for you until your next reply.

Okay, we could go on playing the "Guess that year" game, but I call it quits and congratulate you having earned another point.  :applause:

The bus was built 1953/1954 by Fleischer in Gera. It was based on a EMW 340 chassis, but the engine was tuned (3 carburators) to 90 hp, propelling the bus upto 130 km/h. The body was made of aluminium sheets upon a steel tube frame. The 11-seater bus was built for EMW's own handball team.
