The Gutbrod Atlas was a light panel van or pickup truck made by the Calw division of Gutbrod Motorenbau G.m.b.H..[1] [2] In 1950, its series production started in Calw, Germany. The vehicle's maximum permissible payload was either 700, 800, or 1000 kg. Top speed was 70 km/h (44 mph) with a fuel consumption of 9.8 l/100 km (24 mpg US); the fuel had an oil/gasoline ratio of 1:25. The Atlas was fitted with a 27 liter fuel tank.
The pilot production commenced in late 1949. Only in front did the vehicle have shock absorbers. A 400 mm steering wheel in with a 11:1 steering ratio was used. The Atlas has a 6 volts starter motor and a 75 Ah battery.[3] Tires with a size of 5.50×16" were used. The vehicle's turning radius was 9.6 m (31.5 ft).[4] [5] The doors used were suicide doors, making the vehicle look very similar to its competitors Tempo Matador / Wiking and Goliath GV800.
