SOLVED: si_454 - Not clearly determined: Eicher - Farm-Express - 1965

What is this?
Manufacturer, type designation and year of manufacture, please. Then there's a point for that.

Yes, I think it is a prototype. I don't know exactly, the picture is from a small ad. But there is information about the year of manufacture (which one?) and the type can also be recognised.
So have fun.  ;)

Yes, it is a Farmexpress, see single tyre rear axle. But it is older than 1968. When was the changeover from the OM cab to the Eicher cab made?

Yes!The ad doesn't specify, but I think this is a pre-production vehicle. It was launched in 1965 at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
Here comes your next point.

Indeed, I do not know this grille. It doesn't look like a homemade DIY.

Thanks for the point

The cab is neither Tempo, nor OM, nor Eicher and the arrangement of the windshield wipers also is strange.

It is already obvious that it is neither Tempo nor OM. But as I said, the small ad mentions an Eicher built in 1965. And the resemblance to the series version is so great that I think it could well be a prototype or a pre-series specimen. Let's see if any of us can provide clarification.

With "nor Eicher" I just meant that it is not the stock Eicher cab. I have no idea whether it is an Eicher prototype. It is not mentioned in the Eicher book.  :(

The cab is exactly the one that was mounted on the EBRO "D" series trucks built in Barcelona by Motor Ibérica S.A. The EBRO “D” truck was manufactured in 5 basic series 150, 350, 450, 550, 600 and 700
It was produced during the period 1968 to 1974 reaching several thousand units in the set of load capacity from 1.5 to 7 tons, been exported to many countries.
But the newest aspect was based on the fact that the cabin was foldable, allowing access to the engine area much easier and more comfortable. It is the first cabin of this type that was projected and built in Spain. But who was the designer of this successful cabin is not known

Thanks for this missing piece of information. I would have never thought of an Ebro cab on an Eicher chassis. Going by your dates the puzzle Eicher can't be from 1965 then.

As I said, I took the information from a classified ad. Now I'm going to change the title of this puzzle and see if this case can be clarified...

According to two articles on this site, from 1965 Eicher produced its own cabins.
