Syria?

Syria is correct!

kwgibbs · January 30, 2018, 06:57:04 AM

I can,t believe it took me this long

,but was it built for a specific purpose?

el_monty · January 30, 2018, 07:29:44 AM

Not really. Apparently they are hand-built at a rate of 5 a month and sold mostly to farmers. The body is customizable according to the wishes of the buyer.

kwgibbs · January 30, 2018, 02:12:30 PM

did the manufacturer build cars as well?

el_monty · January 31, 2018, 02:52:56 AM

No. This is a very small-scale operation, these trucks are built for the local populace in a shop in a Syrian town. The vehicles are not even registered. I guess that given the situation in Syria, the authorities have more pressing concerns than going after unregistered vehicles...

Up to the Pros.

Djetset · February 19, 2018, 04:12:02 AM

This is the Hyundai-powered 'Al-Halawiya' truck, made (occasionally) by Imad Halfaoui in Syria.

el_monty · February 19, 2018, 05:19:32 AM

Yes, point for Djetset. I had a different name for the builder, Abdo Abu Yazen, but anyway, the truck is indeed known as Al-Halawiya (الحلفاوية) and hand-built in the town of Halfaya in Western Syria.
