Engines from stock were destined for the production of H3 trucks, resulting in only 852 vehicles. This engine was originally the driving unit of Sd.Kfz half-belt transporters. The Maybach HL 42 six-cylinder petrol in-line was then used for propulsion, providing 74 kW of 4.2 l. The starting point for the development of the three-ton truck H3 was the project of a one and a half ton vehicle Auto-Union AU 1500 originally from 1941, which was not produced. The first of them, marked H3, was born on the basis of military technology on the orders of the already mentioned military administration of the USSR. In addition to passenger cars, a number of trucks also carried the IFA brand. The first of this pair is followed by Trabant cars, while the second is Wartburg. In the 1940s and 1950s, for example, F8 and F9 passenger cars were produced directly under the IFA brand, based on DKW pre-war cars with the then modern two-stroke engines and front-wheel drive. The wings of this association included, among others, the automotive and motorcycle brands Robur, Barkas, Multicar, Wartburg, Trabant, MZ and Simson. IFA stands for Industrieverband Fahrzeugbau, which was founded in the second half of the 1940s by order of the Soviet military administration in Germany. At the time of its greatest glory, it covered 65 industrial companies, including truck manufacturers. IFA from the former East Germany is now one of the almost forgotten brands.
