The Barkas V 901/2 is a light commercial lorry made by the East-German manufacturer VEB Barkas-Werke, Hainichen in Karl-Marx-Stadt (Chemnitz) from 1954 until 1961. Originally, the vehicle was called the IFA V 901/2; this name was changed to Barkas V 901/2 in 1957. The V 901/2 is a body-on-frame vehicle with a front engine, and rear-wheel drive, that was available in several different body styles, including pickup trucks, minibusses, and panel vans. It succeeded the IFA Framo V 901, and was itself succeeded by the Barkas B 1000.

Technical description

The V 901/2 is a body-on-frame lorry with two axles; the frame is made from welded U-sections. It was available with two wheelbase options, 2800 mm and 3100 mm, and three different payload options (520, 690, and 900 kg). The rear axle is a leaf-sprung live beam axle; in front, the V 901/2 has independent suspension with suspension arms and leaf springs. On all four wheels, the V 901/2 has hydraulically operated drum brakes. For steering, the V 901/2 uses a rack-and-pinion system. The engine is a water-cooled, straight-three cylinder, two-stroke Otto engine with a cylinder bore of 70 mm and a piston stroke of 78 mm, displacing 900.5 cm3. It is rated 28 PS (20.6 kW) at 3600/min and can put out a maximum torque of 7.25 kp·m (71 N·m) at 2250/min. The engine torque is sent through a dry single-disc clutch and a nonsynchronised constant-mesh four-speed gearbox to the rear wheels. Depending on the axle-drive ratio, the V 901/2 can reach a top speed of either 75 or 82 km/h.[1]
