The first Hanomag speed van after the war

This Hanoverian was a début work after the war. The typical bonnet with the striking horizontal grille bars gave the Hanomag L 28 its distinctive face. Staying true to the original, WIKING has designed the speed van with a window grey colour scheme and a purple chassis. Presented at the Brussels Motor Show in 1950, the real-life bonnet truck stood out with its wide front plus integrated headlights. Initially engineered for 1.5 ton payloads, subsequent versions were able to handle 3 tons of payload – the diesel engines initially had 50 hp and later delivered 65 hp and 70 hp. As early as 1951, the export share amounted to 47%, and deliveries were made to 48 countries. The best-selling Hanomag diesel model was, of course, the flatbed lorry, which WIKING had already started to focus on at the beginning of the 1950s.
