Barkas (VEB Barkas-Werke) — the automaker in the GDR, in the period from 1961 to 1991, produced minibuses and delivery vans of the B1000 model, as well as light trucks and special vehicles on their basis. The production was created on the basis of the nationalized by the Government of the GDR car factory Framo in Karl-Marx-Stadt (now Chemnitz). Assembly production of the enterprise was characterized by low automation and a high proportion of manual labor. At the same time, the only model produced for several decades has not undergone serious modernization, and by the early 1990s, is very outdated. After the unification of Germany, the production of Barkas was not competitive, and on April 10, 1991 the conveyor of the car factory was stopped. In our store you can buy collectible scale Barkas models at the best prices.
