Trippel SG6

The Trippel SG 6 was a Schwimmwagen (amphibious vehicle) developed in the 1930s and used by the German ground forces during the Second World War.

At the end of September, 1938, a Trippel SG 6 was used on an advertising drive from Hamburg to Naples and then across the 28 km (17 mi) water route to the island of Capri.

Following the development of the swimming characteristics of the Colonial Pioneer model, the military version of the Schwimmwagen was also revised.

Production of this vehicle began in 1941 under the designation SG 6/41 at the Bugatti works in Molsheim in Alsace.

From 1943, the production of SG 6 was shut down, and in 1944 replaced by the Volkswagen Schwimmwagen Type 166 which was much lighter and also cheaper to manufacture.
