    Historical Background

    Tatra were formed in 1897 in the Moravian part of what would become Czechoslovakia in twenty years. Before the second world war they produced many types of car, and designed entirely new concept cars that were streamlined and decades ahead of the competition.

    During German wartime occupation the plans for the streamlined tatras were stolen by the German government and the Volkswagen beetle was created.

    During the communist years tatra would boost sales by entering their heavy duty trucks into the Paris Dakar rally. Usually to great success.

    The modern tatra company has focused production on trucks. Heavy duty military vehicles by tatra currently serve all over the globe as weapons platforms and construction vehicles.
