Product Description
- The Kubelwagen was a military vehicle produced in Germany during World War II.
- The name "Kübelwagen" is a contraction of "Kübelsitzwagen," which means a bucket seat vehicle, and was originally a general term for military vehicles with bucket seats or folding canopies.
- In 1938, upon receiving a request from the Army Ordnance Office, the Porsche Design Office conducted research into converting the Volkswagen Type 1 into a military vehicle and completed a prototype. However, there were concerns about durability and weight, so the Porsche Design Office made improvements and developed the Type 62 prototype.
- Field tests of the Model 62 revealed issues such as adjusting the running speed and improving maneuverability in mountainous areas, so further improvements were made and the Model 82 was completed.
- Approximately 52,000 Model 82s were produced.
