The Multicar 24 was manufactured from 1974 at the VEB Fahrzeugwerk Waltershausen in the GDR. Initially only equipped with a single-seater cab, customer demands led to the further development of the M24-0 with a two-seater cab in 1977. Compared to its predecessor, the M22, it was now equipped with a significantly more powerful, newly developed four-cylinder, four-stroke, fluidised chamber diesel engine from the Cunewalde engine factory with 45 hp and water cooling. Another new torsion-resistant steel profile frame with a standardised hole pattern for the superstructure made a wide range of variants possible, e.g. platform truck, three-way tipper, dump truck, high-sided tipper, turntable ladder vehicle, collection container vehicle, box vehicle and many more. The vehicle was built until 1978 in a quantity of 25,659 units with an export quota of 48 per cent until it was replaced by the Multicar 25.
This is a plastic kit which requires assembly with glue.
