IFA Horch H3

The IFA Horch H3, also known as IFA H3, is a short bonnet lorry, and the first series production vehicle by East German VEB HORCH Kraftfahrzeug- und Motorenwerke Zwickau, later known as VEB Sachsenring Automobilwerke Zwickau.

[1] The IFA Horch H3 is a 3 tonne, two-axle, front engine, rear-wheel drive lorry with a short bonnet.

It has a U-profile ladder frame, and leaf sprung axles.

7.5—20 inch tyres were fitted; the braking system is fully mechanical.

A double-disc dry clutch transmits the torque from the six-cylinder Maybach Hl42 otto engine to the five-speed unsynchronised Prometheus gearbox.
