A similar German enterprise that produced small trucks, minibuses and vans.

It was founded in 1957, on the basis of the nationalized factories of the Framo company, which produced small vantages, near the town of Karl-Marx-Stadt, near Chemnitz.

The first car came off the assembly line on the 14th of 1961. About 30 years ago, the plant produced only one model - the Barkas B1000.

A front-wheel drive car will be durable and survivable. And the constant competition and government influence were taking their toll - there was simply no need to update products.

Rarely was minor technical detailing carried out.

The B1000 model was widely distributed throughout the Socialist Labor Union - around 200 thousand copies were released.

Only in 1989, the car was slightly updated - a powerful engine was installed, which was manufactured under license from Volkswagen.

The updated model was named Barkas B1000/1. There were no changes in the outside appearance.

After the merger of Germany, the enterprise could not compete with its incoming competitors. Since 1990, the production of Barkas cars has been introduced.

However, it should be noted that the products of VEB Barkas-Werke were exposed to nasty viciousness - after 20 years, minibuses are still being victorious for good reason
