Summary

Between 1959 and 1974, Steyr-Puch built 16,647 Haflingers. All of these lightweight off-road vehicles had two driven axles. Not enough, decided a Haflinger fan, and had a three-axle Haflinger with steering wheels built. The result, called the 706, is impressive, as this report with extensive pictures and background history shows.

Anyone who served in the Austrian or Swiss army in the 1960s to 1980s will probably have come into contact with the Haflinger sooner or later, as both armies liked to use these particularly all-terrain vans frequently. Four driven and individually suspended wheels and a record low unladen weight of around 600 kg made the Steyr-Puch off-road vehicle successful even in the most difficult terrain. At that time, however, they would never have come across a Haflinger with three driven axles, even though Steyr-Puch had plenty of experience with this concept thanks to the development of the Pinzgauer. A group of enterprising engineers with a Swiss backer now filled this gap and the six-wheeled Haflinger 706 was born.
