The idea to design this construction, one of very few automobiles manufactured in Poland, arose coincidentally.

Press reports at the time stated: “Taking into consideration the price, which should not exceed the price of a similar cubic capacity motorcycle by more than 25-30% we may assume that it will constitute a very popular means of transportation for a wide spectrum of users”.

However, the high cost of manufacture prevented the idea from developing into a mass, individual motorization.

In 1960 when the manufacture of the Mikrus was ended the WSK Mielec construction office prepared within 10 days a prototype of a pick-up version.

This was in response to a Government directive which ordered the manufacturers to produce a compact panel truck.
