AC350182 HENSCHEL 33 G-1 3 TON TRUCK X 9

The Henschel Type 33 is a German multi-purpose truck from the interwar period and World War II. The first copies of this car appeared in 1928, and serial production started shortly after. The Henschel Type 33 was powered - depending on the version - with Henschel or Deutz engines with a maximum power of 65 to 125 HP. The Henschel Type 33 truck was created in connection with the desire to motorize Reichswhery units, which manifested itself in the mid-1920s. The new vehicle was based on a car sold on the civilian market, but it was adapted to the requirements of a military contractor - primarily by strengthening the structure. In 1929, the truck was approved by the Reichswher and entered production. The Henschel Type 33 turned out to be a successful design: it was primarily characterized by a solid structure, high reliability and a decent load capacity. One of the disadvantages was the limited off-road ability. During the long series production, many variants of this truck were created, for example the Henschel Type 33 B1 (first mass-produced model), Type 33 D1 (model powered by a 100 HP Henschel engine - the most widely produced version) or Type 33 H (model produced by the company Magirus with 125hp engine). .
