Description

At least one model from East Germany has to be included in this set, and the logical choice is the IFA W50. Between 1965 and 1990, more than 430.000 units were produced and it is safe to say that this type is among the most successful truck types world-wide. However, specification-wise it is nothing too special. In the game, its strengths will be the low price and the extremely long lifespan, which will have to make up for its comparably weak engine and smaller capacity.
