Orlik A012 Samochód Tarpan 233S PICK-UP

FSR Tarpan is a Polish pick-up truck and delivery truck manufactured by Fabryka Samochodow Rolniczych (FSR) "Polmo" in Antoninek near Poznań. The first copies of this vehicle were built in 1972, and serial production was carried out in the years 1973-1991. The vehicle was powered by various power units with a capacity of 1.5 to 2.5 liters.

Work on the Tarpan car began at the turn of the 1960s and 1970s and the FSR and the Plastic Forming Institute cooperating with the Poznań University of Technology were involved in it. Ultimately, a car with a capacity of approx. 500-600 kilograms was to be built, intended primarily for agricultural work. Several versions of this car were created in the course of serial production. The first was the Tarpan 233, which was also the first mass-produced version. The model was exported to Greece and Iran. In 1976, the F-233 version entered production, with a more powerful engine and the powertrain modernized. Two years later, the Tarpan 237 entered production. In 1986, the Tarpan 239D was presented, which was powered by a new diesel engine and had many modified components. It is worth adding that the Honker car was created on the basis of the Tarpan car.
