Photo Gallery «AWZ P 70 Zwickau - innovative East German mobility in the 1950s»
The AWZ P 70 from Zwickau from 1955 is a predecessor of the GDR car Trabant, designed to promote mass motorization in East Germany. However, high prices, long waiting lists and limited production capacity prevented the small car, which was equipped with a water-cooled two-cylinder, two-stroke engine, from being a great success. This report tells the short history of the compact plastic car from the GDR and shows it in historical illustrations and in the sales literature of the time.
