REV07559 KRUPP TITAN SWL 80

The German Krupp company began production of vehicles in 1919 and built trucks and dump trucks until the late 1960s. With its headquarters in Essen, production occurred at several sites; after WW2, vehicles produced at some sites carried the "Sudwerke" name rather than Krupp. The first major post-war vehicle was the Krupp Titan which was introduced to the world at the 1950 Paris Motor Show. It was immediately identifiable with its uniquely styled large cab; overall, it was an extremely imposing vehicle that always caught the eye . Over the next five years, a variety of variants appeared, with differences in powerplants, transmission systems, wheelbases and load carrying capacity. The SWL 80 was a short wheelbase variant that remained in production for over 4 years in this period. Today, particularly in its native Germany, there is a large following for these classic vehicles and they often appear at motor shows (below). They are thought of as much more attractive than its successor, the Tiger, which lost all of the curves which became flat surfaces.
