ŠKODA 706 RTD MOVING TRUCK

Skoda 706 is the common name of a series of trucks and buses produced by this Czechoslovak, and later Czech, company just before the outbreak of World War II during its course and after its end. The family consisted of several vehicles. Chronologically, the first of them was the Skoda 706 N / ND truck, presented in 1939 and produced - for the needs of the German army - until 1943. The vehicle was very solidly built, it was powered by a 110hp engine, but its performance was rather poor. In 1946 an improved version of the Skoda 706 R entered production, which had many of the features of the 706 N / ND model, but was powered by an engine with a power of 145 HP, which, however, only slightly improved the performance. The Skoda 706 RT and MT trucks were later developed on the basis of this model. On the basis of the Skoda 706 R car, the Skoda 706 RO city and tourist bus was also created, which was the first Czechoslovakian bus produced after 1945! Based on this version, the Skoda 706 RTO bus was created relatively quickly.
