Is it the EL 4000 ?
I think that's close enough. My source reports that it's a SIG 4,0 ton electric truck from 1941.

here's the unaltered picture:

That's what I've found in my "research": Elektro-Auto Post-LKW Ein Original-Postpaketwagen E5 aus dem Jahr 1950 mit 10 t Gesamtgewicht - davon der Batteriekasten 2,2 t (An original postal package cars E5 from the year 1950 with 10 tons - of which the battery box 2.2 t).

If it's not enough please let the others do!

The logo is the one of Österreichische Automobil Fabrik.  But  there is smething strange : I didn't find anay reference to an ÖAF Elektro model on the web, nor to an E5 model, even when searching for Österreichische Automobil Fabrik instead of ÖAF. More strangely, I can't understand why the people at Ferlach didn't describe the truck as an ÖAF, as ÖAF is well-known in Austria, where many models can be seen

So do I!  ???

Anyway, the logo seems to be definetly ÖAF, so, point for pguillem. I don't know if 'E5' is the right designation at all.

I've come across some more information about this postal van. It was built in 1950/51 by the company "Elektrofahrzeugbau Joh. Knittl" from Vienna, based on an ÖAF chassis. The electric engine was from Brown Boveri. A special development was the "Walzenfahrschalter" (roller drive switch?), a device to regulate the electric engine in times when the semiconductor technology wasn't invented. The official designation was ÖAF Typ 2 ENO. 160 trucks were built. The pictured car was in use until 1982.

Thank you! I think this is worth an extra point as it is far more than all of my sources reveal.

Thank you.

In fact, I was looking for some clues for #9. Is it by a well-known German electric truck maker of the 1950's or rather obscure?

Let's sum up: #9 is a West German electric truck by a well-known manufacturer. It is not Bleichert and not Bergmann. You didn't answer pguillem's question whether it is a Still. I assume it is not by a manufacturer already featured in this puzzle. Am I right?

I'm so sorry Wendax, but indeed, I did not realize pguillem's reply.  :-\

I have it a Still 1,5 to electric truck , but think that pguillem is close enough to earn that final point!


Well done gentlemen! It was a pleasure for me!  :)
