The torque was sent to the rear axle with cardan shaft, as opposed to the front-wheel drive Tempo freight tricycles.

[3] The truck had a U-profile, V-shaped frame; the front wheel had single control arm suspension with a semi elliptic spring, the rear axle was a live axle with semi elliptic leaf springs.

In contemporary advertisements, the Goliath tricycle was often compared with the competitor "Tempo".

To prove the quality of the tricycle chassis, Goliath built a world record vehicle with chassis parts from the GD750, a passenger car engine from the Goliath GP700, and an aluminum streamline body.

[5] [6] In August 1951, this world record vehicle reached an average speed of 155 km/h for a time period of over two hours on the Monthléry race track.

In attempts to break even more records, Goliath factory driver Hugo Steiner died in an accident on the Hockenheimring, which caused Goliath to stop breaking world records with freight vehicles.
