Vanaja VAKS, later called Vanaja AS-33 is a two-axle, 4×2-driven military lorry produced by the Finnish heavy vehicle producer Vanajan Autotehdas (VAT) in 1960–1963.
[1] In the model name VAK stands for Vanaja lorry and S means soldier or military.
VAT changed its model nomenclature system in 1961 after which the VAK was replaced by A.
A number was added to show the engine type; the volume model was with 330 cubic inch Ford Trader engine and therefore named AS-33.
[1] The first models were powered by Ford Trader 510E six-cylinder, 108-hp diesels.
