IFA H6 truck, green/black

The IFA H6B was a truck built in East Germany. Development of the H6 truck began during World War II at Vomag, where buses were also planned. After Vomag was completely dismantled and broken up by the Soviet occupying forces shortly after the war, development continued at the former Auto Union, under the Horch brand. The H6B was produced from 1952 to 1959 at the VEB Kraftfahrzeugwerk "Ernst Grube" Werdau (formerly Schumann-Werke Werdau until 1945), which was part of the Industrieverband Fahrzeugbau (IFA). The bus was initially designated W501 at the VEB Kraftfahrzeugwerk "Ernst Grube," with the "W" standing for Werdau. Later, in reference to the H6 truck on which it was based, it was renamed H6B: Horch, 6 ton payload, bus. The bus is the successor to the W500, which was larger and equipped with the Maybach HL120 engine. The H6B was characterized by its high reliability and, until its gradual replacement by Hungarian Ikarus buses, shaped the streetscape of East Germany well into the 1970s. After its active service in regular routes, many vehicles were sold to private bus companies or agricultural production cooperatives, where they even survived until the end of East Germany.
